Joe Totero

Male

East Stroudsburg, PA

United States

Profile Information:

Type of Organization: Fire/Rescue Department - Volunteer
Job Function: Captain
Years in Fire/EMS:: 18
Primary Fire/EMS Department:: Acme Hose Co. No. 1, ESFD, East Stroudsburg, PA
Years With Department/Agency: 13
Dept. Web Site:: http://www.eaststroudsburgfire.org
Other Past or Current Departments and Organizations: Woodbridge Emergency Squad, Perth Amboy First Aid Squad, Perth Amboy Volunteer Fire Department
My Training:: IFSAC/PROBOARD Firefighter I & II, IFSAC/PROBOARD Fire Instructor I & II, PA State Vehicle Rescue Technician, PA State EMT-B, Haz Mat Technician, Incident Safety Officer, NIMS (multiple levels), Foam Firefighting Technician, Basic High Angle Rescue I & II, Confined Space Rescue
About Me:: I've been involved with the Emergency Services for about 18 years now between NJ & PA, just completed Firefighter II certification. I actually should be dead for the actions I have taken in a fire. They were not the smartest thing I did. Now, I still fight aggressively, but with more knowledge of my surroundings & the telltale signs of problems. I will never put or ask anyone to go into a situation that I wouldn't do.
Day Job:: Medical Claims Processor
Relationship Status:: Married
Facebook or Other Online Profile:: http://facebook.com/Joe Totero
Why I Joined Fire/EMS: When I was about 2 years old, I had to have my eyes operated on to strengthen the muscles. When I returned home from the hospital, my cousin who was a career firefighter with PAFD drove the brand new Snorkel 1 to my house for me to see. That put the spark in me. When my father was diagnosed with cancer 20 years ago, I wanted to do all I could for him. I first joined a rescue squad, then a second one & eventually joined the fire department. Since then, I have dedicated my life to saving others.
Why I Love Fire/EMS: being in the right place at the right time to help someone who needs it.
Top Issues Facing Responders:: recruiting & retaining serious volunteers. I also believe that alcohol does not have a place in the station nor on scene. We all like to party & have a good time, but why put yourself or someone else in harm's way while under the influence. let's use some common sense out there!
