- About Me:
- Born and raised in the fire service. Have of pride in my company and contributing to the day to day operations. I like to keep the original traditions going but like most volunteer departments volunteers are hard to find. One of biggest things i try to keep around are the cadet/ junior firefighters. I started at 14 years old and 10 years later I hold the title as a Lieutenant. I always like to learn new things in the fire service cause there is not such thing as a 'know it all.' Just like the saying, "There is no routine day in the emergency services." I always like hearing different ideas other companies have and trying to see if it will work for the company if not then we keep it as it is. I am always open to discussions.
