About me
My name is Zak Souter-Lucas.
I am a Volunteer Firefighter and an EMT (Primary Care Paramedic) student living in Calgary Alberta. I take Daily and nightly trips to the small town of Crossfield Alberta, to get my dose of firefighting whenever I can. Before then, I attended a student work experience
placement through Canmore Fire (formerly Fire-EMS) for several months.
Several years after the incident of 9/11 I traveled to New York City with my mother for a family trip. I suggested to my Fire Chief that I bring a fire patch to leave at the 343 memorial as I heard it was a popular way to show support and remembrance. Upon walking into the memorial I saw hundreds- maybe thousands of Fire patches. All looking amazingly beautiful and colorful. I made it a personal goal to start collecting them as well... only to learn that there is a vast and large group of people all over the world sharing the same passion!
The first patch to start off my collection (other then the Canmore Fire-EMS patch) was that of Hoboken New Jersey. If any Firemen and women from there stumble upon this page, I hope you see the fire you started in my heart! Thank you!
