Bill Wiegman speaks about the evolution of firefighting, mental health challenges and the responsibility of leading through trauma
In a new video feature with Fideri News Network, videographer James Short held an in-depth conversation with Fire Department of Montgomery Township Chief Bill Wiegman, who is also Montgomery Township’s Emergency Management Coordinator and Fire Marshal.
Wiegman discussed his personal background, his extensive career in fire service, experiences with emergency calls, mental health challenges within the fire department, community engagement, and his vision for the fire service and community relations.
The insights provided offer a comprehensive look into the life of a firefighter and the evolving nature of fire service.
When asked about his legacy, Wiegman expressed humility and a focus on service rather than personal recognition.
His goal is to want residents to feel confident that when a fire truck arrives at their door, the firefighters will do their utmost to protect and assist them.
