T he smoke billowed thickly around David Comstock ’88 and his fellow firefighters from the Western Reserve Fire District. “It was the one time I was inside a building and thought, ‘I’m not going to get out of here.’” They had entered the burning antique store with the unpleas­ ant task of searching for victims. It was a blustery winter night, and fire had already consumed the first floor of the building and was spreading into the upstairs apartments. “All of a sudden, fire was where we had come from and we couldn’t get out,” he recalls. Reacting with unwavering determi­ nation, he led the others through the dense smoke to a back exit, moments before the building collapsed. While Comstock finds the occasional brush with death just part of the job, it is also part of the attraction of being a volunteer firefighter. “The adrenaline rush you get by responding to a call is something you don’t feel sitting behind a desk,” the 1988 graduate of the College of Law told the ABA Journal in 1997. He also likes the instant gratification the avocation provides. “I know very few lawyers called by a client to solve a problem who can have the problem resolved in 15 minutes or half an hour,” he says. Admittedly, the feelings are no less satisfying, he adds, than helping a client in his role as a partner at Comstock, Springer, and Wilson Co., LPA. “I can just see my results a little faster.” The Youngstown attorney first experienced firefighting during college while working summers at a YMCA conference center in Hague, New York. One of his co-workers, the chief of the local volunteer department, encouraged him to give firefighting a try. Comstock, who was accomplished in rescue diving, eagerly joined, much to his parents’ dismay. All told, he spent five sum­ mer vacations helping the local department and often went on calls when he visited the area throughout the school year. When he entered law school at Ohio State, his passion for fighting fires cooled until his third year, when he joined the 'The adrenaline rush you get Upper Arlington Fire Department as a volunteer. “All the other students would run out to their law jobs or go to their intern­ by responding to a call is ships after class,” he recalls. “I would go ride a fire truck.”

ambulance is dispatched. “Many times the fire department will beat the ambulance to that call,” he says. “We can be there in some instances, if not making a difference in life or death, to comfort the family. It’s nice having someone there from our town if someone has died.” He works with the district’s elected trustees to determine the level of fire protection services and was instrumental in the installation of tornado sirens in Poland and surrounding communities. “Those are the kinds of things I can get direcdy involved in and help make a difference,” he says. He finds his experiences as a firefighter and a lawyer go hand in hand. As an insurance litigator, his knowledge as a firefighter and an emergency medical technician is helpful in reviewing reports written at the scene of accidents. He is frequently called upon by fire departments and ambulance companies to provide legal advice and has helped various townships and villages create fire districts, which under Ohio Revised Code are separate political subdivisions in the state. His expertise as an arson investigator has also led to increased calls from insurance companies

to handle arson cases, particularly suspicious claims. As fire chief, Comstock’s legal background is helpful in evaluating contracts, determining mutual aid agreements, or considering tort liability issues. While his law school classmate, Mark Fortunato ’88, serves as the official legal advisor to the department, Comstock’s own experience has helped him understand the legal considerations of fire investigation. “I understand what causes a fire, but one also needs to know what makes a good case—what facts or evidence might be admissible— and to understand search and seizure laws.” As far as he knows, he is only one of a handful of attorneys in the U.S. who also work as firefighters. “Unfortunately, my experience is that most people in white-collar professions don’t think about firefighting. When they consider community service, they look to. boards,” Comstock says. That attitude is something he’d like to see change, and he encourages lawyers to check out their local firehouse for a rewarding volunteer experience. ^E m ergency! — : la w y e r S p eed s to th e R escue W i By Martha Neil, Chicago Daily Law Bulletin
