Meet Mike Galluzzo

It's time to recognize a Fire Chief that means so much to his team and community. Mike is the Fire Chief for the Poland Volunteer Fire Company. His fellow firefighters say he's their leader, friend, and role model in the fire hall.

Not only does he care about his fire fighters when they are suited up, but he cares about their livelihoods at home. He treats everyone like his family, which explains why he's so well respected.

It's safe to say that in Poland, Galluzzo's impact goes much farther than just being the Fire Chief.

Out of all the people I know... no one has a bigger heat than him. He's not only my Chief, he's my hero.
