Years in Fire/EMS:: 0
Primary Fire/EMS Department:: Arkansas Methodist Medical Center EMT, Paragould, AR
Years With Department/Agency: Just started
My Training:: Currently a fire science student at Black River Technical College in Pocahontas, AR. I will be graduating in May, 2009. Just recently started working as an EMT at AMMH in Paragould, Arkansas.
About Me:: I am single, and almost finished getting my AAS degree in fire science. I am currently qualified as a HazMat Technician and as an EMT in the state of Arkansas, and once I graduate, I am open to going just about anywhere.
Relationship Status:: Single
Why I Joined Fire/EMS: Like many little boys, I wanted to be a firefighter. Many years later I joined the Air Force and served 8 years. I have been trained as a respiratory therapist and have dealt with many emergencies in a hospital setting. Firefighting is something that I've chosen to do, not something that I grew up knowing or something that was thrust upon me. I want to continue helping people, helping them by saving their memories as well as their lives.
Why I Love Fire/EMS: honor, duty, helping people, pride in civic service
Top Issues Facing Responders:: Training and Finances for more personnel, better wages, and equipment

Chris, no offense taken...we sort of got on the issue...it sure seemed that the young lady had waited and then expected others to do the work....and if you can't handle it in training then yuo sure as heck can't handle it in the real world.....Take care Brother and Stay safe...ALWAYS keep the faith..........Paul
