Patch: How did you become interested in firefighting?

Quatrino: I had a few friends who had brothers on the job. From talking to them, it sounded like a good line of work, a good profession to get into.

Patch: What’s your most memorable call?

Quatrino: We had to go out to the cops that got killed last year. (Tampa Police Officers David Curtis and Jeffery Kocab died June 29, 2010.) It’s not memorable in a good way. You work with them, so it’s a little closer to home than your day-to-day runs. A little more personal.

Patch: What’s your favorite color?

Quatrino: Blue.

Patch: What’s the last movie you saw?

Quatrino: “Toy Story 3,” with the kids. I thought it was all right.
