About Me:
Have held every office on the line officer side, some more than once, except chief's position,had the opportunity a couple of times but was satisfied with the chief we had.

Our community was starting it's fire company and i figured i would give it a try. Found out either you will love it and give it your all or just say ,no way do i want to do this. Guess i wanted to be a part of a group that makes a difference, I'm still here.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
the feeling of accomplishment and respect you can achieve for yourself and others by helping others in a time of need.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
there is never enough help and there is little incentive for the younger men and women to give their time to volunteer to do the job.
