About Me:: Firefighting is my passion but my main ability is my ability to draw just about anything like a photograph. My big dream is to be a paid firefighter or famous artist because my education backs up the artist part.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS: honestly it was because of ladder 49. it inspired me to go further with something I already loved.

Top Issues Facing Responders:: safety on the job in the truck, on the fire-ground and during clean up. too many things get left out in the rush of responding and going inside to fight the fire.
