Lane Burch, a firefighter and EMT, recently accepted a job with the Copperas Cove Fire Department in Texas. Lane was pinned by his father, Billy D. Burch, a fire captain for the Travis County ESD 12 Fire Department. Firefighting runs deep in the Burch family. Lane’s uncle, Bryan C. Burch, is a battalion chief for the Fort Worth Fire Department, and his uncle, Brandon P. Burch, is a firefighter and paramedic for the Kennedale Fire Department in Texas.
Lane received help from the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma Career Development Program, and his family would like to thank the program for their assistance. This year, Lane will continue his education with hopes of becoming a paramedic.
