Dove Creek Ambulance Service - Paid per call
My Training:
Firefighter I, Technical vehicle extrication/rescue, NREMT Basic with IV and basic Drug Administration (CO cert.), Emergency Vehicle Driver (CO cert.), Advance Airway Management (CO cert.), Engineer Boot Camp, CAFS and Foam
About Me:
My name is Grant Allen. I am a FF/EMT B-IV in Southwestern Colorado. Been a volunteer for 5 years with Dove Creek Fire Department. In 2009 I became an EMT and joined Dove Creek Ambulance. In 2010 I was hired with Cortez Fire Department.
From 2006 to 2010 I ran my families farm in Southwestern Colorado in the Dove Creek Area. I loved it but not as much as I love being a firefighter. Currently I am on leave from all of those and in Dallas, Texas in Paramedic School at UT Southwestern. I live and breath fire/ems.
Originally I just joined to help out and to hang out with the guys on the department. Of course I soon fell in love with it the more calls that I ran.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
I am totally fascinated with fire behavior, I love helping people, I love being the guy that people trust with their lives, and I love the camaraderie with my fellow firefighters.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Lack of access to vital essential training, communication (always), and the always growing legality of doing our job.
Just wanted to give you an invite to come join the new singles chat I started in the group - Chief's Back Room Crew - since it seems more people hang out in there on a daily basis - i wanted to give some more opportunities for us fun singles to visit with each other and gather up more of the wandering singles in this site - so invite your single friends and come join us... see you around the pages.
