About Me:: Joined the ranks of firefighting in the small town of Knob Noster, Mo., in 1983. Was with the LaMonte Fire Deparment and Pettis County Fire District at same time from1986 to 1995. Joined current department in Utah in September 95 till Present. Started as a firefighter to senior firefighter and then Engineer. Became Senior Engineer on the department and then Lieutenant as acting Training Officer for the Department. Currently no longer with the fire service as part-time. Quit doing fire service with South Ogden in 2010, due to unforseen circumstances. I currently work at one of the local hospitals as an EMT in the Emergency room. an things. South Ogden and the fire service will always be a part of me.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS: I became a firefighter to help people in a time of need. Not really knowing a good way to help people in their time of distress and need, i thought becoming a fireman, and helping put out fires and tend to their medical needs, i could help in that area. Plus the excitement of hearing a siren and running down the road with lights, helped but not the main reason.

Top Issues Facing Responders:: Training needs, salaries and health care for fire service personnel
