Our “Working Shift” series continues with a Chicago Firefighter. They put their lives on the line for fellow residents by extinguishing fires, making rescues from buildings, trees, vehicles and much more. But what do they do in between waiting for that next call? Fireman Eric Washington tells all. If his name sounds familiar it’s because he was on the show last week to discuss his request for water donations for Flint, Michigan. He collected 4,500 cases of water for the town in crisis.
