Bryan signed as a free agent with a couple NFL teams and after his football career ended, he became a firefighter in 1992. His first big incident was responding to the Northridge earthquake in 1994. Bryan also got his paramedic certification to be cross-trained so that he could work as both a firefighter and a paramedic. During his 31 year career he has been stationed everywhere in the City of Los Angeles, and his last 13 years he was stationed in Brentwood at Fire Station 19. Bryan now dedicates his time to his new business named Lock Down Fire Defense Systems, helping people stay more ready for potential fires, and also assisting with various tools to protect your home during a fire and fire cleanup.
