Second Family: Joe Kruszynski

iVolunteerFIRE leverages the power of referral of today’s generation of firefighters. Folks like “Average Joe” Kruszynski of the Clarence Center Volunteer Fire Company.

Twenty-five year old Erie County Volunteer Firefighter Joe Kruszynski is a recruiting consultant, helping colleges find good candidates and helping good candidates connect with good colleges. He joined the Clarence Center Volunteer Fire Company in the Town of Clarence in May-2012 and graduated from his basic Firefighter 1 training in November-2012.

My community has done so much for me, this is one way of saying thank you. My brother RJ influenced me to join by sharing what an impact we can have on others as well as the feeling you get from saving lives.
