Ever since his first season as the host of Working, Jordan has wanted to interview a firefighter. It’s a job everyone knows about. But the day-to-day of a firefighter’s work might not be so familiar. Jordan sat down with Jason Powell, a firefighter with Engine Company 69 in Harlem, New York, about his four years on the job and all the training, danger, and cooking that goes into it.
