Jeff Riechmann (Rick-mann) has been involved in airport safety
for all his adult life. As a young airman, he was a crash-crew
fireman at Edwards Air Force Base; after his honorable discharge,
he went to work for Kern County as a firefighter, while staying
active in the Air Force Reserve. Retired now from the military, he
still is a firefighter for the county -- but he's a very special
firefighter, with responsibility for all of the county's aviation
programs.
