Profile Information:

Type of Organization: Fire/Rescue Department - Volunteer
Job Function: Firefighter, Driver / Engineer
Years in Fire/EMS:: 3
Primary Fire/EMS Department:: North Boston Fire Co
Years With Department/Agency: 3
Dept. Web Site:: http://www.northbostonfire.com
Web Site:: http://www.bostonnyems.com
My Training:: FF1, FF Survival, NIMS 100 200 700, Pump Operator, Live Fire Training, Fire Police, Vehicle Rescue, Truck Company Ops., EVOC, EMT, Radio Operator, Medical Emergency Radio System Operator
About Me:: Well i led a boring life all through my middle school and high school years. I did play football but only to make my grandfather happy, until i had a serious knee injury at work one night and that ended my hall of fame career. After high school i kept working some different jobs, and got a motivational thrust to join the fire company... and so i did. 3 years later (today) i currently have a completely different job that i never thought i would have, which is an EMT in the city of buffalo, still belong to the fire company and also an ambulance company in boston, and every day am learning new things about people and places. I have alot of friends and very few good friends.
I have one person who i look up to, and one day hope to become exactly like him, but know it can never be done and that is my grandfather. i have spent more time with him in my life than any other person and he is the reason for who i am, and what i know.
No i never went to college, and dont plan on going. I know what i want to do with the rest of my life and how to do it, but i just have to find that right path to get there. Someone who i look up to once said "dont let school get in the way of education."
Im a quiet person, shy if you will, but am told that i do come out of my shell every now and then haha. I dont have a girlfriend but i hope to find that special someone some day. Im a very to the point person. i dont like long explanations, or stupid questions. But do enjoy having conversations. I dont go out much, only because i like what i do in my every day lifestyle of emergency services, and i want to be ready for that moment when someone calls 911. But i do like sitting at my coffee shop, or a tim hortons and drinking coffee and talking with friends and aquaintances.
My days are somewhat similar and a little mondaine, but im looking for something to change that... a new hobby if you will.
........ and thats me i guess!
Day Job:: Rural Metro Ambulance
Relationship Status:: Single
Why I Joined Fire/EMS: I wanted to be a part of an organization which is very important to my area and throughout the country. And I just like to help out.
Why I Love Fire/EMS: The "thank you" from the person you helped... plus some of the stuff is just neat to see! : >)
Top Issues Facing Responders:: Getting organized, prepared and firmiliarized with ourselves so we will be able move on into the changing times of the future of what we have yet to face with new safety regulations, laws, and whatever emergency services will lead us to face.
