Profile Information

Type of Organization: Fire/Rescue Department - Paid

Job Function: Training Officer, Fire / Arson Investigator, Firefighter / EMT-Basic, Hazardous Materials Team Member, Driver / Engineer

Years in Fire/EMS:: Almost 10 including EMS

Primary Fire/EMS Department:: Sunland Park Fire Department, Sunland Park NM

Years With Department/Agency: 4 years and counting

My Training:: FFI, FFII, EMT-B, Hazmat Technician/Specialist, Driver/Operator, Rope Rescue Operations, Fire Investigations, EMS Training Officer and Liaison. I am currently attempting to establish our Spec Ops division.

About Me:: I have been in the field for 7 years. I attended the EPCC Fire Technology Academy and obtained my Texas Basic Firefighter through the Commission. I am a dual state EMT and Firefighter. I am currently working towards obtaining my Associates Degree in Basic Firefighting and Fire Science and then will be finishing my Bachelors of Homeland Security. God has me here for a reason, and thats to help as many people as I can until he calls me home.

Day Job:: This is it

Relationship Status:: Single

Why I Joined Fire/EMS: I wanted to be able to be the one who would help others instead of running away.

LIVE LIFE STRONGER THAN DEATH.... a wise person once told me this

Why I Love Fire/EMS: Running in when everyone else is running out thinking were crazy.

Top Issues Facing Responders:: I believe that tight budgets are one of the issues facing firefighters. The inability to correctly equip a department has led to firefighters being hurt and killed. I also believe that we are our own issues. Firefighters who do not wear their proper PPE during situations that require it.

This is Station #1. I am currently assigned to Engine-1. Engine-1, Reserve Engine-3 and Rescue-1 are housed there.

Hazardous Materials Technician

Posted on March 4, 2009 at 6:56pm 3 Comments 0 Likes

Wow, for the past 2 weeks I attended an 80 hour Texas State Certification course for Hazardous Materials Technician, and then took the state exam. It is known to be the 2nd hardest and most technical of all of the state tests. Good news, the entire class passed the state exam, so I am not only a HazMat Tech out of California through CSTI, I just landed my state of Texas Hazardous Materials Technician certification. Sweeeeet. Now I am able to get the IFSAC seal for HMT since Cali doesn't have… Continue

What a RUSH! high angle rescue

I was on shift last night while we were watching the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy" when all of the sudden we got toned out to a rescue situation at our new amusement park.

I was like doh... partial bunkered out and jumped into the engine to start rolling to the scene.

We arrived on the scene to find a set of coaster cars between 70 and 80 feet up on the tracks that had frozen in place. We called for mutual aid getting the ladder rolling and my Lt. tasked me with getting to the top of… Continue

Pictures Being Uploaded causing Negative Public Perception

Posted on August 8, 2008 at 7:30pm 20 Comments 0 Likes

I don't want to sound like I am preaching here, but what is with all of the pics being uploaded that show alcohol being consumed. I think that we need to set a higher standard as Firefighters than just partying. What kind of example do you think this is setting for anyone that views the public page. I am sorry but too much is just that.... too much. I don't see what it does besides makes you look like you drink alcohol a whole lot. I believe that we should think about what we are going to put… Continue

The City of El Paso Fire Department lost a 7 year veteran in a battle with brain cancer. Kip Hall was the epitome of what a firefighter could be. God Bless you Kip and you wont be soon forgotten

Remembering 9-11.... Never Forgetting

Posted on September 9, 2007 at 10:42pm 0 Comments 0 Likes

Today one of our local churches treated us to a worship service in which they prayed a blessing upon us and all the other firefighters, families, and those who have had someone give their sacrifice so others may live. They called it Heroes Day. They gave us a cookout afterwards. It was a time to reflect and just hand out with our feloow brothers from one of the neighboring departments. It was done in Remembrance of 9-11. May we NEVER FORGET!
