I am currently working on finishing up my one and two. I techniqually have it already but when the state changed its standards for Junior Firefighters I was not awarded my certifications just the hours for classes. But its okay, I'm only 5 classes away. And I am workin on them as hard as I can.
About Me:
My name is Jennifer, I have been a fire fighter officially for 4 years and unofficially for 16 years. =) I was at my first fire when I was two weeks old while my mom and dad were battling the blaze. =) So you can pretty much say its in my blood. =)
I am currently a college student studying to physical thearpy, to become a PT in a Burn Unit, hopefully at UNC Burn Center. :) I am also starting my fire life and safely classses to become a insturctor. :) I'm excited.
I am currently dating a wondeful guy that I happened to meet at a fire training class in town. He is absolutely amazing, and I love him to death. I could not ask for me. ♥ Jacob M. Ashley.
If you want to know anything else. Just ask, please don't assume. =) Cause you might just miss out on something special. =)
Barbie meets Firefighting.....story of my life. =)
My name is Tom Kenney. I’m a 24-year veteran and Fire Lieutenant on the Providence Fire Department. I’m pleased to announce that I’ve recently had my book, Working Class Hero: Memoirs of a Providence Fireman, published by Publish America (ISBN 1-4137-3107-4).
This is the first book of its kind written by a Providence Firefighter in 118 years.
“You can almost smell the smoke and feel the heat. ‘Working Class Hero: Memoirs of a Providence Fireman’ is a three-alarm read. It’s taken from the 23-year on-the-job experiences of a second-generation Providence firefighter who could shrug off tragedy with a flippant remark, time after time after time. Required reading.” (Wally Pickford -The Reporter)
“…his experiences pull the reader in and force them to think about the bravery of firefighters and of their own mortality.” (Kelly Smith - Warwick Beacon)
“Working Class Hero: Memoirs of a Providence Fireman is one man’s action-packed account of twenty-three years of life as a firefighter in busy metropolitan Providence – the third largest city in the Northeast. Experience what it’s like to be taken on one emergency call after another – fires, shootings, stabbings, and more. Encounter situations that are completely unimaginable to the average citizen. Thoughtfully written with the reader in mind, describing each stage of an incident, this book allows the reader to visualize riding along with the firefighters as they pull up to a scene and must take immediate action. In this book, Lieutenant Tom Kenney will take you inside the mind of a firefighter as he makes life and death decisions. Celebrate his victories and suffer his defeats. Glimpse a world few people ever experience. From practical jokes and fun around the firehouse to gut-wrenching real-life tragedies, this book covers it all!”
The book is currently available at Barnes & Noble Book Stores, Borders Books, and online through www.amazon.com and www.publishamerica.com. It is a full size paperback edition, 224 pages, and retails for $19.95.

Firefighting is in my blood too.. both my parents are firefighters and alot of my family are firefihgters. I love it.. I love how people tell me I am stupid or crazy for being a firefighter especially since i am only 17 years old and barely 5 foot tall... guys in other departments around me are always telling me that i can't do certian things cause i am so small... it fun to prove them wrong :)
