From the time he was a boy, Morris knew he wanted to be a firefighter. But now, it is time to retire after 40 years.
"When you retire after 20 years, you're going to miss it. When you retire after 30 years, you're going to miss it. Retire after 40 years, you're probably going to miss it more," Morris said.
When asked what he would miss most, Morris said, "Being a firefighter – just the whole thing," from the camaraderie to the adrenalin.
Morris had to retire because he is now 65.
