Why I Joined Fire/EMS

All I have ever wanted to do is be a Fireman. My whole family (starting with my greatuncle) are in Public Safety. My father is a retired Assistant Fire Chief, an uncle that is a retired Assistant Fire Chief and another uncle that is currently Deputy Chief (all Old Town Fire).

I got involved in the Jr. Firefighter's program at Old Town FD and then joined the On Call division. I also joined up at the Milford FD.

After working a seson as a wildland firefighter with the US Fish and Wildlife, I got my Fulltime/Professtional job at the Veazie FD.

I have always loved helping others. It's in my blood!

Why I Love Fire/EMS

Love helping those in need. Love the rush of the call.
