Other Past or Current Departments and Organizations
Currently with Winthrop Ambulance service as well. Have 12 years in EMS with 3 other ALS services before that.
My Training:
State certified FFI, FFII practical (working on the written). EMT-P, HAZMAT Tech, PALS, NALS, PEPP, GEMS, PIFT.
About Me:
See above. My only regret is that I did not get into the fire service alot earlier than I did. Finally figured out that pretty much everyone likes seeing the fire men show up. Not many like seeing the cops show up.
Started as a cop. Got tired of being the 1st person on the scene with no training, having to look at a person and say, "It's okay! Hold on! Rescue is on the way." So while I was working the street, I had the fire chief sponser me for an EMT-B class. Finally got my medic license last year. My instructor convinced me to apply for my hometown dept. Got hired last July.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
The differences that I have made in a few lives.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
In this area, manpower on the volly services is a huge issue. The other would be resources.
