Watch firefighter’s film school project
This is a video by Shreveport (LA) Fire Department Firefighter/Paramedic John Phelan (Black Helmet Films (J. Phelan)) who also is adding film maker to his resume.
Featuring SFD’s 2014 Firefighter of the Year, 30-year-old Fernando Gonzalez, the video was shot, written and edited by fellow firefighter and paramedic John Phelan as his final exam project for a course in video and film production.
It turns out that Phelan did such a good job with the video that SFD Chief Scott Wolverton is looking into using it as a recruiting tool, as well.
Phelan, 32, is a 9-year veteran of the fire service, studying film and production on the GI Bill after serving 4 years in the Army as a medic that included a 6 month tour in Baghdad, Iraq.
