Getting to the know the team: William Burke

William, or as his friends call him, Trey, grew up in Woodstock, VA, but now lives in Winchester, VA. Having grown up around the fire department, due to his father, grandfather and stepfather all volunteering at their local fire departments, he has always known what he wanted to do in life. Trey himself volunteered as soon as he was old enough and now works as a professional firefighter for Loudoun County, VA. Currently, Trey rotates through staffing a Tower Ladder, an Engine, and a Medic unit while also cross-staffing the county Hazardous Materials unit.

Trey graduated from Eastern Kentucky University with a Bachelor's degree in Fire & Safety Engineering and a Master's degree in Safety, Security, and Emergency Management. In his free time, he enjoys being outdoors, photography, and spending time with family. He hopes to learn a few new techniques from the vocational exchange that he can take home to his station as well as learning about the French-Canadian culture.
