I first met Julie in Cincinnati, Ohio, in the early 1980s while I was attending the Fire Department Instructors Conference (FDIC). Although she was still living in Ohio, her husband was a recently hired firefighter in the Phoenix (Arizona) Fire Department (PFD). She asked that I take something (a surprise) back to Phoenix with me and give it to her husband. Of course, I said yes. I don’t think Julie, nor I, could have imagined the stress we were about to cause young PFD Firefighter Brian Moore when one day he was asked to report to Chief Compton’s office at Fire Administration without an explanation as to why. I learned afterward that he just about had the big one when he was told. Julie relocated to Phoenix later to join Brian, who still continues his successful career with the PFD and together they’ve raised a beautiful family. In 2001, Julie was hired as a firefighter by Conference (FDIC). Although she was still living in Ohio, her husband was a recently hired fi re fi ghter in the Phoenix (AZ)
