Bryan served the Salisbury Fire Department for 18 years in various capacities including Firefighter/Paramedic, Maintenance & Supply, and most recently as Lieutenant on Truck 2. Due to his strong work ethic and commitment to the fire department, he was honored with a posthumous promotion to the rank of Captain.
