About Me:

My Father was a firefighter and I was introduced into the fire dept. at young age and I was hooked from there. I love to help people. I am a member of Engine Co. 202 in the Wallington Fire Dept. We are a fully volunteer dept. I am also a member of the Wallington Emergency Squad. In Aug 2005 me and a bunch of the friend of mine (sons of freighters as well) helped restart our dept.'s Jr firefighter program. I had the privilege of serving as 2nd Lt, 1st Lt, & Captain. I have taken Firefighter-1 and I'm NJ State 1st Responder Certified. Any training or literature pertaining to firefighting that will better me as a firefighter I will take or read. I love the job to death. I’m hoping to become paid within the next coming years. I am a big fire buff and I am a member of the New Jersey Metro Fire Photographers Association. I video fires and make different types of movies: http://uk.youtube.com/WoodyFireVideos
