About Me:

Well I am 1 of 3 Training Officers, I usually train personnel. on SCBA and Drivers Training and Truck Operations. While the other 2 Officers Train others on everything else. I been a volunteer firefighter for 4 yrs. now and a Training Officer for over a year. Usually since theres not many ppl that shows up on our dept. at a fire I either end up running the truck an at a scene or driving or when it comes to a structure and we have to fight interal-attack i end up doin that and thats awesome. I prefer running the truck operations when it comes to car fires or anyother fires that doesnt involve structures!!!!!

Top Issues Facing Responders:

I feel like that paid / volunteer firefighters dont get enough credit for the job they do. Also i belive the paid firefighters in the state of Missouri is way under paid. Then theres Training not enough resources for smaller departments to get the right training at times
