Being new to the area, Josh Crouch decided to join the Hartford Area Fire and Rescue (HAFR) in October 2015 as a way to meet people and to help his local community. Later in 2016, Crouch would become a Certified Firefighter.
Crouch was born and raised as an only child in north Texas where his parents still live today. Crouch and his wife, Cami, share their time with their dog, Cyclone.
Outside of his time at HAFR, Crouch is a Plant Engineer and Safety Manager at Elston Manufacturing, Inc. in Sioux Falls.
During his free time, Cami and Crouch spend their time outdoors “either trying to catch fish or hunting.” Crouch also enjoys watching sports and tinkering with projects in the garage.
