HOMETOWN HERO — Cole Powell

How long have you been a member of HTFD-23 and why did you join?
I have been a member for almost 2 years and I joined on my 16th birthday. My Dad is in the Fire Company and I wanted to support my Community.

Do you have a family? If yes, please tell us about your wife and kids.
I don’t have a wife or kids, but I live with my mom, dad, and I have a 13 year old sister.

What is the best part about being part of HTFD-23?
Positive environment and a team of people working together to save people and property.

What do you do when you’re not fighting fires?
Currently going to school and I work for a landscaping Company after school. I like to go hunting and work on my truck in my spare time.

Who would you say is the most influential person in your life and why?
That’s a tough one between my father and grandfather. I would say my grandfather because he taught me how to weld, took me on my first hunting trip and taught me allot of mechanical skills working with my hands.

What is your favorite movie and why?
I don’t watch many movies but my favorite TV series is Diesel Brothers. They turn normal trucks into monster trucks.

There is a movie about HTFD-23. What actor would you play?
If it was a fast and furious HTFD23, I would play Jessie aka Chad Lindberg.

If you had 3 magic beans – what would you wish for?
Magic bean 1 for an unlimited amount of money
Magic bean 2 for a 1000 acres of land that I could hunt on.
Magic bean 3 to get rid of COVID19 forever.
