About Me:

Ok, well I started out working for a transport service and then I got involved in volunteering with Citizens Rescue. While I was there I moved up the ranks slowly from EMT-B to EMT-C and then bridged to EMT-I. I have sinced moved down the road and joined Concord Rescue and Concord Fire and I am loving it. I have had my fire fighter for years but could not get on at the fire department were I was living. Now I am working at the local airport as a fire fighter (arff) personnal.
