About Me:

My name is Tyler VanDervort and I have been a member of the Vestal Volunteer Fire Department for 5 years. I am a member of Station #2. I am a secretary in my station. I have numerous hours of training in various courses and I have almost completed my degree at Broome Community College in Fire Science. It is from all the courses I have taken at school and with the fire department that I have so much knowledge in the fire service. I am also currently a certified first responder and I am working on becoming a certified EMT in the near future. I am also applying for a job as an Emergency Services Dispatcher for Broome County, NY. I am really hoping to get this job because it is something that I am really interested in and that I really want to do.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I became part of the emergency services because I wanted to help people when they need most in their time of need. I wanted to rescue people from burning building or mangled up cars and make sure that there life isn't tragically cut short. I joined because I have the courage and the bravery to run into burning buildings while other people are running out of them.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

I get to help people everyday

Top Issues Facing Responders:

I think that one of the biggest topics facing the fire/EMS service today is safety. More people die responding to and from calls then anything else and that is a proven fact. we need to reduce these numbers drastically and the best way to do that is teach people the proper way to drive vehicles to and from the scene and to and from the station which are the two times where accidents happen the most especially in the middle of the night.
