United States

Profile Information:

Type of Organization: Fire/Rescue Department - Volunteer, EMS/Rescue Squad/Hospital EMS - Paid
Job Function: Lieutenant, Firefighter / EMT-Basic, First Responder, Hazardous Materials Team Member
Years in Fire/EMS:: Since May of '04
Primary Fire/EMS Department:: King William Volunteer Fire and Rescue Squad. Aylett, VA
Years With Department/Agency: Since May of '04
My Training:: I have been an EMT-Basic for four years and have been a firefighter for three years. I have only had the chance to take FF1 as our department is a bit slow on the training side of things. I am also a PADI open water scuba diver. I am in school right now for my minor in Associates of Applied Science (Paramedic) so in two years I will be a Paragod lol, also for my Fire Technology degree and my magor in Criminal justice so at the moment I am a full time student.
About Me:: Theres not much to tell. I joined because I was bored and wanted to get out of my house and got hooked. I have scrubbed shit covered toilets and bottoms, got bloody vomit projected into my hair, been punched, kicked, and grabbed by my bunker coat and tossed around, suspended, burned, and I still keep coming back for more because I am in love with the little moments. Having a older woman tell me her stories on the way to the hospital, preforming CPR and bringing somone back, breakin shit up after a house is burned (REHAB), holding a child in my arms, and having someone look up at me and say "thank you". I swear its like crack to me.
Day Job:: EMT-B at Kings Domionion
Relationship Status:: In a Relationship
Facebook or Other Online Profile:: http://www.myspace.com/fireandrescue43
Why I Joined Fire/EMS: I wanted something to do and I love working with the elderly.
Why I Love Fire/EMS: my crew and working calls.
Top Issues Facing Responders:: The lack of funding and members for volunteer fire departments. The lack of interest in EMS and running rescue calls when our department has already run 400 EMS calls and only 28 Fire calls so far this year not that im bashing fire just that well look at the numbers before you bitch. To many arrogant firefighters that get people killed.

Check out the some of the Groups, I have started up "Close Calls" an area to tell your story of what you did and should not of so others learn. "Roll Calls" this is another group that allows you to tell us about your station and district. "Trainers Corner" is another area that you can read about issues other trainers have or deal with. As well if your not a trainer you can ask questions or state concerns you have. If you have a hard time locating them just go to my site and look at the bottom left hand corner.

Enjoy, be safe and remember we all come home.

You are very welcome for the compliment. What is new in Virginia, any good calls? I just missed out on a MVC on the highway, another crew took it. Fx clavicle and leg. No fire calls though.

Same as you running calls, getting stuck working overtime. Cutting grass part time and trying to find time to enjoy this gorgeous weather. And waiting for the water to warm up so I can head to the river or the beach.

I just had to say something about the yellow wannabe trucks, most departments up here that have yellow are finally getting them repainted to red or buying red
