Brotherhood

Chris Stafford

Brotherhood

Overcoming the loss of family, Chris Stafford builds a new bond within his Engine Company

After the life-long dream of becoming a professional football player didn’t pan out, he pursued another desired career path – firefighting. Now working as a firefighter for the past two years at the Bowling Green Fire Department, Stafford tries to live up to the example set by his brother Jason Johnson, who died a month before he got hired for the job.

View Shaban Athuman’s story of Stafford’s journey to honor his family while building a trust in a new brotherhood. Complete Story Here
