- I'm still learning in between working full time and raising two young boys, but so far I have my First Responder, Vehicle Rescue Technician and of course CPR certs. We just got back from Winter Fire School in Columbia, Missouri where I took You can't always get what you want, basic spanish for firefighters and rescue personnel, and outdoor search and rescue. The latter of the three classes are self explanatory, the first is just helping us to learn how to deal with the public in high stress situations for them. They were all great classes and am already looking forward to going again next year.

If you have never had the opportunity, take a minute to explore firefighterclosecalls.com and the secret list. This is a wonderful web site to explore and learn from the mistakes of others. It is also, sadly, a roll call of those whom have made the ultimate sacrifice, in their service to their communities.
We have all joined the Public Safety Community for a variety of our personal reasons. Some of us are paid, while others volunteer. Many are firefighters, while others enjoy the EMS side of the house. We have active firefighters, line officers, chiefs, administrative officers, and a number of old timers who have seen most of the mistakes already made at least once. We have firefighters with many many years of experience, and others that, well, don’t. All are welcome here in The Nation. We welcome your input, just as we hope that you learn from the experiences of others.
Personally, I have 31 years service to the local fire department. I have held most line officer positions, and some administrative as well. Now part of the Old Guard so to speak, I am less inclined to go charging into where others are trying to escape. Instead, I choose to monitor the fire scene closely, attempting to ensure the safety of all on the fire scene.
I welcome you to the FFN. Here we all share one common goal.....
