About Me:: I started volunteering in 2001 and was told that I needed to get some certifications. I then went through the Northwest Florida Fire Academy and EMT school. After I got my certs I got hired at N.A.S Pensacola Fire Department. I still volunteer to help my community and keep up with my skills.

Why I Love Fire/EMS: Being able to make a difference in someones life. I am also my sons hero and that is the neatest thing in the world to know you are someones hero.The self satisfaction you get when you know things went smooth and as planned.

Top Issues Facing Responders:: People who feel that thay don't need to go through classes or get certs to do this job. Be it Career or Volunteer things constantly change and we need to stay current to be better prepared for ourselves and our peers.
Oh yeah and having Officers who are clueless and unqualified for the job.

"Roll Calls" this is another group that allows you to tell us about your station and district. "Trainers Corner" is another area that you can read about issues other trainers have or deal with. As well if your not a trainer you can ask questions or state concerns you have. If you have a hard time locating them just go to my site and look at the bottom left hand corner.

Enjoy, be safe and remember we all come home.
