The year is 1978. A young kid from the projects rides his bicycle for miles. Parched, he stops at a fire station in search of a drink of water and his life is forever changed.

Mark Berry is now a battalion chief with the Dallas Fire Department and our story starts with a fatal house fire he responded to just hours before our interview.

Other topics covered: Mark's backstory, including growing up in the projects, being mentored by firefighters, playing college football, a stint in the NFL, returning to his first love (the fire department), and much more.

Chief Berry currently serves as Battalion 6 in Oak Cliff. A long-time member of Special Operations, he also serves as a Task Force Leader on the Urban Search and Rescue Team.
