About Me:

Ive been involved with the fire department ever since I was a child, my father was a firefighter/operator for 33 years for the New Orleans Fire Department. I had always been fascinated by firefighting and EMS. So in high school I studied EMT and became certified. I then got offered a job to be a 911 dispatcher for medical and fire emergencies. My agency serves 10 different departments! Im looking forward to taking the Firefighter I class and becoming a firefighter as well!

Why I Joined Fire/EMS

Because my father was a fire fighter and I saw what he did for the community and wanted to do the same. Working with the fire department is like a brotherhood well... in my case a sisterhood and I just love it! I basically wanted to be apart of emergency services because I wanted to help the community! It was in my blood!

Why I Love Fire/EMS

helping my community and it is a very respectable job!

Top Issues Facing Responders:
