About Me:

I'm 19 years old from Chatham NJ. I got involved with the fire department when I was 16, and still am active in it. While at collage I am a Public Safety Student Officer. Basically we work with full time sworn officers in the Public Safety Department, Scranton Police Department, and or rare case's PA State Police, and on even rarer occasions Secret Service *John McCain rally at U. of Scranton.* I am very active in both departments and would not trade my years with them for anything even if it has not been that long. I am a Criminal Justice major at the U of S and I plan to minor in Psychology as well as Sociology.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS

Back when I was sixteen I wanted an activity that helped others. Fire Fighting was the answer. Action, service, respect, pride. I like meeting others with the same interests as myself.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

No rush is greater than the feeling you get when you solve a problem for some one in need.

Top Issues Facing Responders:

SAFETY! We as responders, Fire, Police, EMS, can never take too many precautions for are safety and the fellow members around us.
EDUCATION! Every chance you get go to a class or the academy because it will only better yourself and your department.
