Profile Information

What State do you live in?: Canada

Type of Organization: Part/Paid Fire Department

Job Function: Firefighter/Driver Operator, First Repsonder

Years in Fire/EMS:: 8

Primary Fire/EMS Department:: Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire Rescue

Years With Department/Agency: 1

Other Past or Current Departments and Organizations: Salmo Fire/Rescue for 7 years as a firefighter and first responder

Safety Net Security for 3 years as a security guard, industrial first responder, safety officer and emergency response supervisor.

My Training:: I am enrolled in Fire Fighter I and II training and I am currently exterior operations certified.

About Me:: The biggest fear I have being a Firefighter is going out to a call and finding a child seriously injured or worse, especially if the child is around tha same age as my son.

Relationship Status:: In a Relationship

Facebook or Other Online Profile:: http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/phillipeano

Why I Joined Fire/EMS: It took me six years to really find the words to explain why I am a firefighter. In one call I found the emotions more then the words to explain it. I responded to someone in need of help after an MVI, I helped give the best medical care possible and got the patient to the hospital with their condition improving. I came home with the feeling of pride in knowing that I did it all because I enjoy helping people in this way. All of these moments and feelings from this one call summarized why I am a firefighter.

Why I Love Fire/EMS: The excitement of going on calls and helping people.

Top Issues Facing Responders:: Politics, reliability issues, and in BC separate dispatches for different emergency agencies; there is always miscommunication or information missing when information is passed from one agency to another.

Shambhala Music Festival is about 10 minutes outside of the Village of Salmo but response can be up to a half an hour depending on traffic. The route is paved highway up to the turn off to the music festival then it is a dirt road for about 5 km (about 3 miles), about half of the road is only single…

Send me your email address and I'll send a photo of the two patches I mentioned in my previous comment.

I collect all three - police, fire and ambulance. They don't have to be new...as long as they are in decent shape.
