David Hess's Friends

David Hess's Groups

Other Past or Current Departments and Organizations: Grand Traverse County Rural Fire Department Battalion 6 Fife Lake, Mi

My Training:: FF1 and FF2 hazmat awareness and operations, emergency vehicle drivers training, appuratus and pump ops 1 and 2, extracation, and EMT-Basic

About Me:: I've been a firefighter for over 2 years and I LOVE IT! its in my blood, my dad was a volunteer firefighter in canal fulton and my brother (Brandon McCune) and i are now on the same department. In my two years i've seen 5 friends hurt or killed. I've already had my far shares of bad calls but its the good calls that keep me active.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS: My brother joined a department in ohio when i lived in michigan. I have alwaysed looked up to him, and i liked the idea of getting to help my community, but after i got into it i'm addicted!

Why I Love Fire/EMS: Search and rescue is my favorite, but anytime you know that you got to help someone

Top Issues Facing Responders:: actracting new members, keeping old members active, and training
