About Me:
37 male been in the fire service for 20 years and loven every minute. I have done ems, structure and wildand. I enjoy fighting wildland fires cause they are fast paced and pose so many different challenges.
My grandpa was a Capt with Garfiled County Fire Dist #1 for many years before he passed away, when I was very young. So When I was 17 I joined the same dept that he was on. Alot of the guys that were on when I joined was on when he was on. They would tell me stories of some of the things he did or would do. I guess he was a big stickler on having the higbees lined up just prefectly. So I have been going strong since then. My cousin also was a firefighter for many years. So as they say its in the blood.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
Helping other people and the satisfaction that you get when you know you just helped someone out.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Volunteer Recruitment and Retention.
Budgets.
The list goes on and on...
