http://www.clarkforkchronicle.com/article.php/20061228082953624 - About Me:
- I am currently a volunteer for YWCA Secret Seconds in Missoula, MT. In fact in April of 2011, I received an award from the mayor for Outstanding Neighborhood Volunteer of the Year. Not as thrilling as firefighting was, but I'm still making a difference ;) I'm not on much, but feel free to contact me on Facebook (just make sure to put FFN in the request so you don't get ignored). Stay safe out there!

- Why I Joined Fire/EMS
- I wanted to make a difference, so I volunteered... I was a volunteer firefighter in Superior, Montana in the U.S. as well as a volunteer for Mineral County Search & Rescue. For me, it is a passion, and I like knowing that I can make a difference in this world. I think that ALL volunteers are heroes, they change the world one person at a time!
- Why I Love Fire/EMS
- Knowing that I have made a positive influence on someone's life.

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.....
