About this episode
Eric Siena was a veteran firefighter and special operations Lieutenant. Eric was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. His wife, Christy is also a fire Lieutenant. I sat down with them and Tom "Bull" Hill earlier this year when Eric was still undergoing treatment. We discussed his journey into the fire service, hazardous materials exposures, the cancer presumption bill, PTSD and much more.
Eric Siena passed away on May 11, 2021. This episode is dedicated to him and every other first responder battling or taken by cancer.
