Basic Firefighting Skills Course - About Me:
- I have been riding along with Hancock County Ambulance Service for about a year and a half now, trying to get the hang of how things work and some hands on experience. I plan on going to EMT school once I graduate high school, then later goign on to beacome a paramedic. I love the work paramedics do and love being in the back of an ambulance. I have made friends with some of the best people in the world and had some great experiences with them. Even though I'm a just a senior in high school they are comfortable enough with me to throw me into the middle of ANY call. I'm very proud of myself for gaining that trust with them.
I'm also a junior firefighter at Panther Creek/Kyles Ford Volunteer Fire Department. I'm not really interested in being a full time firefighter but volunteering is ok I guess. I'm proud of the fact that I'm a member of a fire department, but EMS is what I truly love doing. - Day Job:

- Why I Joined Fire/EMS
- It's something I have always wanted to do. My uncle was an EMT and him and my grandpa were members of the Rescue Squad so I have been around this kinda thing since I was little.
- Why I Love Fire/EMS
- The rush you always get and the feeling of confidence you get with knowing you can help someone.
- Top Issues Facing Responders:
- The way the public looks at EMS personell. I'm in no way putting down firefighters or police officers at all, but they always get called the heroes when they pull somebody out of a dangerous situation. But the Paramedics and EMTs that put that person on a backboard, holds C-spine until somebody can get a C collar on them, get them in the truck, intubate that person, push drugs, and get their heart back to a normal rythm before they get to the hospital are looked at as ambulance drivers....
