Episode 14 Bob Barteck A ”Fire” For The Outdoors

Bob Barteck has made a career of public service as a firefighter, EMT,  Disaster Medical Assistance Team Leader and in 2021, embracing a new role as Fire Chief in Wausau Wisconsin. Having known him since the mid 90's, I can say firsthand that he has a servant's heart and would give the shirt off his back for anyone in need. 

We discuss 9/11 and the impact it had on the country, specifically the firefighting and emergency response communities. He also talks at length about the time he spent working with  DMAT on deployments to Houston and Puerto Pico and the lifelong friendships that were formed in those times of crisis.

As most conversations do on the HHAUSA Podcast,  we focus on Bob's love of archery and the outdoors and how it has helped him disconnect while working in a profession not immune to battles with PTSD.

While the majority of our time is spent around Veterans and Active Duty Military, we want to take a moment to thank all the men and women across America who selflessly put on a uniform each day as First Responders, racing into harm's way to protect their communities. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!
