- About Me:
- I just celebrated my 22 year anniversary married to my best friend. We have 4 children together and have raised a Brazilian daughter (exchange student for 5 years) and my sister's two children.
I absolutely love EMS. I love teaching. I love when the light bulb goes on and knowledge then makes a difference in care rendered.
A day on the lake or ski slope renews my soul. I enjoy reading but struggle to find the time. My favorite quote epitomizes how I feel about being a part of the fire service.
"The glory of friendship is not in the outstretched hand, nor in the kindly smile, nor in the joy of companionship; It is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him." EMERSON - Day Job:

My name is Adel and I am trying to figure out what products are best for female firefighters. I have worked as a firefighter for only three years so I am just getting started. Currently I am a student at Eastern algerinne University in in the Fire & Safety Engineering Technology Program. Although I have only been a firefighter for three years I have had my fair share of small gloves that were still too big and pants that went up to my belly button! I was wondering if you could take the time out of your busy schedule to share some of your favorite/best fitting/most functional products for female firefighters. Weather it’s an awesome fitting pair of pants, A polo shirt that has sleeves that do not go down to your elbows, a pair of great gloves, or boots that have an awesome fit. It would be greatly appreciated if you could share your opinions with me. Thank you very much. Please feel free to e-mail me back at adel_pomper@hotmail.com or leave me a comment
