ICS courses 100, 200, 700, & 800. SCBA training i am working on right now.
About Me:
im obviously a new firefighter. working on getting qualified for interior. im the air force as security forces. (small terms.... a cop.) i am stationed in colorado springs colorado. Im in the United States Air Force now. i finished basic military training on 13 february 2009. i am currently taking a break from the fire department for my time in the military. but as soon as i get out i will be a firefighter again. in my heart.... i will always be one. its been my life since i was about 14 years old. and always will be.
my father has been a firefighter since before i was born and it is something i always wanted to get into. i enjoy helping people as much as i can.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
i love the adrenaline rush you get when that pager goes off and i feel the need to help people in any way i can.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
not enough people that would sponsor or help out their local fire departments. not enough money for the gear and supplies needed for the firefighters to stay safe in the fires or on any calls.
It was pretty sweet...it was a 47 year old man and his pregnant 17 year old girlfriend....so it was a bit weird. Some guys need to get their heads knocked in I think.
We have 360 calls 4 the year so far. most of them are Medical asst. because we do not have an ambulance. But we also have our fair share of MVC and fires.
I got ya we have 3 Engines, a Truck, a Rescue, a Tanker, a Brush truck, and a Command unit. if you wanna check out ours its www.chestertownvfc.org
the brush truck is the only thing thats different
Yea the tower we have is a 1989, And when stuphen came and did the ladder test they said that the ladder was in better shape than the ones coming off the factory floor. And one of the Engines is a 1983 Hahn so where probly gitting ready to replace it.
We dont eather maby 10 a year if where lucky. But we had some storms coming right 4 us last night but the chesapeake bay changed that we dident get any rain or firecalls
Yea the state right next to us had a house struck by lighting but nothing for us. We did have a wreck with intrapment but i missed it because i was working.
Hey Tara,
I don't we've formally met-I mean you added me a long time ago and I never introduced myself. Where are my manors? Just wanted to say thanks for the add. I see you're a member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary. Just wanted to say thanks also for your service to our county-I know it's not like the "real" Coast Guard but you guys do a lot of service as well. My FD has an Air Boat that we use primarily for Ice/Water rescue and when we do standby's for Crew/Rowing races up here. Anyways we always have local Coast Guard Auxilary members on the water in their own boat. It's pretty cool.
Alright well have a great day and good luck with the Fire Service-it's such a rush!

You doing something that will benefit yourself and your family. I agree with you, its something great. I love the airforce, so never get me wrong, i just think the marines would push me the way I need to be. I hope you have a great time, you'll have to keep in touch when you go. Take it easy
