The Community Advocate covered the unusual hobby of a Southborough resident who graduated from Algonquin this summer.
The article begins:
Most second-graders groan at the blaring sound of a fire alarm, but for Algonquin graduate Tim Zhang, that sudden noise sparked a curiosity that would grow into a full-blown passion, a YouTube channel with millions of views, and a future career.
Zhang, a Southborough native, has a unique hobby: fire protection. After a routine fire drill in second grade, Zhang couldn’t shake the feelings of excitement and intrigue that accompanied the event.
“I went online after the fire drill just to see what was going on because I was curious about it,” Zhang said. “I found a whole group of people on the internet who collected fire stuff, and I was kind of fascinated because, who collects fire alarms? It was such a niche thing. Eventually, I started trying to get this stuff myself.”
