St. Louis Radio: WIL Names 'Hottest Firefighter'

Josh Bird and wife Lindsay

New Country WIL 92.3 ‘s “Bud and Broadway” - the two-time CMA and ACM award-winning local New Country morning show - conducted a metro-wide search for the St. Louis area’s “Hottest Firefighter” - and on Friday morning, Josh Bird from the East St. Louis Fire District was named the "Hottest Firefighter"!

Josh Bird has been with the East St. Louis Fire District for 8 years. Bird started his career as a volunteer fireman. He is married to wife Lindsay and has two children. In fact, Bird's wife entered him as a joke at first, but Josh was the clear front-runner from the beginning of the contest.


Josh will be sitting with Bud and Broadway, Mason and Remy and the entire Home Team in the VIP Suite at the upcoming 2018 Jinglefest Concert, taking place on December 8th at The Family Arena.

The “Hottest Firefighter” Search by New Country 92.3 heightened listener awareness of National Fire Prevention Month during October 2018.
