Currently a paramedic. Also certified in ops level VMR and rope rescue; technician level structural collapse, trench rescue, confined space rescue, and hazardous materials.
I have completed Fire Officer I certification classes and am one class away from finishing Fire Officer II.
About Me:
I've been a cop and a firefighter-being a firefighter is MUCH better!!
I enjoy the dynamic challenge that every shift presents. It isn't the same dull, sit-at-a-desk kind of job that slowly kills people. It makes me think and challenge myself to become better every day.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
The diversity and the fact that my cohorts will do anything to help a brother or sister out.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Politics and financial issues can be extremely difficult for agencies. Getting the average politician and tax payer to understand why we need up to date equipment and recommended minimum staffing are difficult, up hill battles.
