Lyn

Female

Clarksville, TN

United States

Profile Information:

Type of Organization: Fire/Rescue Department - Paid
Job Function: Lieutenant
Years in Fire/EMS:: 22 years
Primary Fire/EMS Department:: government
Years With Department/Agency: 22
My Training:: firefighting,tactical medic,rescue operations,k-9 search n rescue, k-9 cadaver,haz-mat op,mach 1,confined space and trench rescue,ropes and knots,paramedic,USAR,fire attach residential and commercial, incident command, ventilation,SCBA,radiological monitoring, jump rescue,fire safety, rescue and fire suppression,NFA's initial response to hazardous materials and incidents,emergency response to terrorism,disaster services and instructor ,NFA's incident command, recognizing and identifying hazardous materials,CPR and first aid instructor,extrication instructor, and many many more...btw, do I have to get into the medical or k-9 rescue/cadaver portion too?lol.
Day Job:: um,,, whatcha think i do in the day time?lol
Relationship Status:: Other
Why I Joined Fire/EMS: To save lives. Whether I'm Fire Fighting, EMS, Rescue or instructing Extrication or CPR...I just don't feel whole unless I am out saving some ones life or at least making a difference in their life just being there at there time of need. My entire life is all about helping others, whether I am at work, home or socializing.
Why I Love Fire/EMS: the idrenaline rush, the simple "Thank you", the feel of a childs arms around your neck,and a simple smile of gratitude, the glistening in a childs eye when you just saved her daddy,a tear of joy in a foster childs eyes when you just saved her only friend in the world...her puppy,the dropping on a mothers knees in relief when you saved her baby,a grown mans hug when you just saved his wife, and the list goes on, and on, for the last 22 years, no other feeling in the world like it...ever.
Top Issues Facing Responders:: I feel the government needs to realize how important firefighters, rescuers and ems are.The Government pays people to sit behind a desk and push pencils all day on whether a chicken came first or the egg, but they cant pay emergency workers, whom risk their lives daily for the lives of strangers? There are far too many volunteer stations, and not enough paying stations. I feel the states are also responsible.But if a county are to have an emergency station, it has to be volunteer because the state is to busy paying for daisies on the side of a congested road or busy paying a golfing trip or luncheon with your tax dollars.How about stop worrying about how comfy the prisoners are and their education time, and use the money to pay the emergency workers.I say...Pay the emergency workers, they risk their lives, the state and government needs to risk their wallets .

Hi Lyn,

I just stumbled across your page and read that you are a writer. How is that going?

I swore that I was going to write a book called “You can’t make this shit up.” But first it would be longer than War and Peace if I included just my best experiences. And second, nobody would believe me.

Stay safe!

As a friend is laid to rest today, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Know he goes and prepares a way for all his fellow brothers and sisters. I feel your pain and sorrow, just know that I wish I was there with you to offer the support you and your fellow firefighters so rightly deserve in this time of sorrow and need. Give my condolences to your men and Joey's family. Know that the brotherhood of firefighters is feeling your lose today as well. Rest in peace Brother for the final bell now rings for you on your last call. We as a brotherhood miss you, love you, will take care of yours as you would do for us. We honor you by getting on our trucks, rigs, engines, and squads to continue saving others as you would want us to do every day. You did as you were called to do and made the ultimate sacrifice, and in so doing you also saved a childs life. For that there is but one small word to say, THANKS.

Hey Cap,

Any update on our brother?

I read your post and know that you have to be a very respected member of your department. Continue to stay strong for your troops and the family members. Know that if you need a release from all that going on, we are here for you.

Stay safe!

Hey Cap,

Don’t worry about an absence from the board. I’m sure that you had much more important matters to tend to.

We are her for you if needed.
