ERIC HURST
Fire service experience.
A storyteller’s eye.
I’ve spent more than 20 years in the fire service, including work as a public information officer and communications leader. Today I serve as a Senior Communications Strategist with Aurora Fire Rescue and create independent video stories through WorkingFirePIO.
From incident scenes to long-form stories
My career has taken me from incident scenes and media briefings to video production and fire-service education. At South Metro Fire Rescue, I helped build its YouTube presence into the first U.S. fire district channel to receive a Silver Creator Award.
WorkingFirePIO gives me a chance to visit departments of different sizes, listen to the people who serve there, and share their work with an audience beyond their response area.
