“My Grandfather was a firefighter, my Dad was a

“My Grandfather was a firefighter, my Dad was a firefighter, numerous Uncles and Cousins were and are firefighters, myself, and now my Son, all professional firefighters. My late Father, Ambrose Martin Bertsch (photos 2 and 3), was the Fire Chief of what is now West Sacramento. As a child, I was often in his Fire Chiefs car when he responded to emergency calls. One day, he had picked me up from school and was dispatched to a car accident. As I sat in his car, I watched as the firefighters administered first aid and extricated a victim from his car. I thought to myself, this is a ‘Unique’ job. One that each and every day is a different and new adventure helping people you don't even know! I thought, I can do this job!”.

Thomas Michael Bertsch (photo 1) Retired, CalFire shares why he choose a career in public service. Images courtesy of Mr. Bertsch and include photos of him and his father during their service.
