Other Past or Current Departments and Organizations
started out as a cadet, then worked my way through the ranks to finally become a sergeant. Worked both paid and volly at several departments during my years in the fire service
My Training:
Level 2 Firefighter, Rescue Technician (heavy rescue, confined space, advanced auto extrication, rope, ) Fire Investigations, Fire Company Officer, former EMT B
About Me:
started out as a cadet when I was 15, 33 yrs old now..have been in either fire or law enforcement since that time. I have seen alot of great people come and go and alot of changes both good and bad come through the pipelines
I was a huge fan of Emergency and then as I got older I found all the different aspects of Emergency Services (police, fire,ems, rescue) to be amazing, so i was drawn head first into it.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
kickin ass and breakin glass!!
Top Issues Facing Responders:
need for more dedication, especially in the volunteer departments, funding..we need more money!!

Jay, Just thought I'd tell you that CDF patch you describe as old could be one of about a dozen. CalFire, as they are now called, goes through name changes along with emblem and patch changes about once every ten years, or less. Have a safe shift.
Jay,
if your interested in a patch trade I have some certified firefighter commerative patches and one from NOLS wilderness medical institute if insterested in a trade drop me a line
