Ryan has been in the fire service for 23 years and is currently the volunteer Chief for Irondale Fire Protection District. His goal is “to provide the best quality of service to his community and department!” After earning his Swiftwater, Boat Ops, and Ice Rescue Technician certifications all in one year, Chief Hardy decided it was time to become an Instructor! He loves teaching water rescue and is a fantastic addition to our team of Instructors.
