United States

Profile Information:

Type of Organization: Fire/Rescue Department - Paid
Job Function: Lieutenant
Years in Fire/EMS:: 22 years
Primary Fire/EMS Department:: government
Years With Department/Agency: 22
My Training:: firefighting,tactical medic,rescue operations,k-9 search n rescue, k-9 cadaver,haz-mat op,mach 1,confined space and trench rescue,ropes and knots,paramedic,USAR,fire attach residential and commercial, incident command, ventilation,SCBA,radiological monitoring, jump rescue,fire safety, rescue and fire suppression,NFA's initial response to hazardous materials and incidents,emergency response to terrorism,disaster services and instructor ,NFA's incident command, recognizing and identifying hazardous materials,CPR and first aid instructor,extrication instructor, and many many more...btw, do I have to get into the medical or k-9 rescue/cadaver portion too?lol.
Day Job:: um,,, whatcha think i do in the day time?lol
Relationship Status:: Other
Why I Joined Fire/EMS: To save lives. Whether I'm Fire Fighting, EMS, Rescue or instructing Extrication or CPR...I just don't feel whole unless I am out saving some ones life or at least making a difference in their life just being there at there time of need. My entire life is all about helping others, whether I am at work, home or socializing.
Why I Love Fire/EMS: the idrenaline rush, the simple "Thank you", the feel of a childs arms around your neck,and a simple smile of gratitude, the glistening in a childs eye when you just saved her daddy,a tear of joy in a foster childs eyes when you just saved her only friend in the world...her puppy,the dropping on a mothers knees in relief when you saved her baby,a grown mans hug when you just saved his wife, and the list goes on, and on, for the last 22 years, no other feeling in the world like it...ever.
Top Issues Facing Responders:: I feel the government needs to realize how important firefighters, rescuers and ems are.The Government pays people to sit behind a desk and push pencils all day on whether a chicken came first or the egg, but they cant pay emergency workers, whom risk their lives daily for the lives of strangers? There are far too many volunteer stations, and not enough paying stations. I feel the states are also responsible.But if a county are to have an emergency station, it has to be volunteer because the state is to busy paying for daisies on the side of a congested road or busy paying a golfing trip or luncheon with your tax dollars.How about stop worrying about how comfy the prisoners are and their education time, and use the money to pay the emergency workers.I say...Pay the emergency workers, they risk their lives, the state and government needs to risk their wallets .

Hi hun, It really didn't hurt.. It felt more like a tingle in my shoulder.. I didn't feel it much.. I'm sure you'll do fine and good luck with your next surgery.. Any idea of what you want to put there? I would love to see it when it's done.. Thanks for the comment on my tattoo.. Take care..

Hi Lyn! Just checking in to see how your feeling. How`s things going down there? Hope everyone is getting back on there feet. Were just freezing up here in Buffalo to cold ready for summer.

Sorry I am replying to all the emails so late. Please know I am not ignoring you. I had Major surgery the 19th on my left shoulder and left knee (which was due anyways, but having a building collapse on myself and two of my men didn't help any) and I just woke up enough to be able to log on for a bit. Please understand that I am not trying to be rude, just need time for healing and I will log on when I am able and in less pain. Thank you for your understanding. Please please please be safe out there as I care! Know that I will respond to your messages and they will not be forgotten. Do have some good news though, my men are safe, alive and doing better (none of use escaped without injuries) and we saved 2 lives that day. Please keep my guys in your prayers and thoughts for speedy recovery though as they are the soul bread winners for their families.I'm sure you can understand how tough that can be and my guys mean the world to me. Thanks alot...have a safe and blessed day.

Hi again, and thanks for the kind wishes. They were "lost" in the shuffle according to her. She is of course the personification of all that is evil, so I tend not to believe it. Some friends of mine deal as a hobby in Civil War cloth and I find the period in our history quite interesting.

Hello! My surgey was on Feb 28, 2008. My stiches had popped on the one area and it reopened. Right now they wrapped it wih the ace bandage and I have to take it off every six to eight hours. The area is about 45% closed now. It really isn`t bleeding as bad which is good. I`m hoping to be back to 100% by the end of next month. But not pushing it, want to heal the right way before summer.
I don`t know what happened to my other comments They were there might of by accident may have deleted them. Oops. Me bad. Well talk to you later.
