My Training:
You name it...I have it!!
About Me:
I have been around here for 30+years and yep I am a grandma now! I have pretty much done it all now and would not change a single moment!!! I am a public safety dispatcher now and will be until I retire. It is a little easier on my seasoned bones. Love to spend time with my family, fishing, camping, hiking, gardening, painting in watercolor medium and photography and so much more...
I was born this way! LOL! Public Safety has always been my way. I was the kid that always helped others, animals, and I even held funerals when my critters passed on...LOL!
All silliness aside...I have always held the passion in my heart and soul to serve and protect others.
Side Note...I was born on the same day as Florence Nightingale :o)
Why I Love Fire/EMS
The Life Style... excitement...compassion... Helping others...
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Biggest issue is lack of funding...especially with our many volunteer departments in the US.
Thanks for proclaiming being a Squirrel, I know exactly how you feel. I started this group just to lighten up some rookies and experianced alike with some good humor, great stories and maybe by accident some use ful knowledge. Welcome to the Fire Squirrels, start up a discussion or post comments or even some video or pics if youd like, whatever intrests you. Good and Bad discussions are welcome here. All of EMA is welcome here. From my family to yours have a great day. JT unit 1671
thanks for the invite. stay safe over there. haven't heard too much about the wild fires on this side of the states...are they pretty much out/under control? keep up the great work.
I hope the issues with your Mom clear up for you also. I have had to deal with that yet. Weekend is going good. Sitting at work with both of the ambulances out in different communities. Have 3 guys left for 2 engines and a ladder. We are soooo overstaffed.
Can't wait until the ice is gone and I can get my boat out and go fishing. I didn't do a lot last year but this year is going to be different.
You are in Cal. right? What part again? I have a sister in Santa Cruz. Works for the college. I'm just south of Green Bay. lots of water when the ice is gone.
Hello there my Friend..I hope this message finds you and yours doing well. It has been a busy time here with work and family life as well. Summer time here is right around the corner and I am looking forward to doing the things that this time of year here in the south allows...like laying under an air conditioner when it is 108 degrees outside...lol..well other things too. Stay safe and keep in touch...Later!! Cliff (a.k.a. Chiefiredog)
My name is Charlie McCoy and I am a fireman in San Francisco. I am looking to network with firefighters or EMS personnel who are interested in an opportunity to make an additional 8-10K+ per month. Do you keep your options open when it comes to making extra money? If making this kind of money aside from the fire department interests you, please email me or give me a call at 888-865-9962.
