Serving the community is more than just a job for an Indianapolis father and his two sons, it's a family tradition.
Fred Pervine currently serves as Chief of the Indianapolis Airport Authority Fire Department. But prior to his appointment as Chief, Fred had worked with the Indianapolis Fire Department for more than 35 years.
It's that servant's heart that has led Fred to climb all the way up the physical and metaphorical ladders to became a well-respected public safety member of Indianapolis."I worked my way up from a private to a chauffeur to a lieutenant to captain to a battalion chief to a division chief, and to the deputy chief. And then I retired after 35 years," he said.
"He's the definition of a role model, definition of type of man to inspire to be. He's a strong God-fearing man and I proud excited glad to have him as my father," said Dustin.Family of Service: Dustin Pervine "Seeing him, I used to be like my dad was like superman," said Dustin."Just seeing him do his job. That excites me still to this day and I am 35-years-old and that excites me see him do his job," said Dustin.
"We always tease him down he got in the wrong line," his father joked."But at the end of the day, we all love serving and I told him I thought it would be great for him because Dustin is a person that likes to be out in the public and interact and asset a police department gives you more of that opportunity.""I love it.,. it's part of the best job in the whole world," Jordan said.
"Why is it so important for kids? Because kids are visual, and they see things," Fred said."I never knew that I wanted to be a firefighter until I seen a firefighter. And so those things are important that what you see, and I think in every community, they should see somebody that represents them that look like them, brothers, female, whatever background you come from."
"We're dedicated men," Jordan said."I'm a man of God, and I'm a family man and that's the same with my brother."
