My Training:
I LOVE TRAINING! Where do i start! I've traveled to 5 different states for training and i'd like to go farther! Training is so important in the fire service today because things are constantly changing for the worse! Building construction, Auto technology, and more importantly, people. My interest or specialty i guess you would sy is in RIT, search ops, interior fire attack, and firefighter rescue and self survival. I love EMS too!
