I was an Auxilliary Firefighter at an Air Defense Missile Site in NJ. Because of my membership in a local volunteer dept, I rose to the rank of Asst Chief. Our regular department was very small and understaffed. I spent 1 month working in the station and 2 months at my regular job every quarter and of course we all responded with the regulars to any fires or alarms.

OJT FF Training, Arson Detection and Investigation, and Engine and Pump Operations in the Air Force, Basic and Advanced FF Training in Toms River. Many Basic and Advanced Haz Mat Courses, Wildlands Training, Advanced Pump, Basic Officer Training and Instructional Techniques for Company Officers, and Fire Police Training. Also Crime Scene Investigation and Princiles of Criminal Investigation at Ocean County College. Also many weekend seminars from the NJ State Fire College
