An Interesting Job
Ricardo “Bojo” Bojorquez loves his job.
It’s not an easy job; “I don’t know what I’m going to do that day; it’s always a toss-up. It can be a fire, it can be hazmat, it can be a brush truck, it can be a heart attack… so I can’t prepare for anything. It’s just come as you are and you have to be ready to go,” he explained.
