Other Past or Current Departments and Organizations: Colo Fire & Rescue, Colo, IA
2001 to 2004

My Training:: FFI, Haz Mat Operational, Extrication, Driver/Operator, former EMS First reponder

About Me:: I've been in law enforcement for 29 years, EMS for 27, firefighting for 8 years.
I've lived in Iowa all my life, have traveled in the USA, alot. Visited many of your fine states. Want to visit them all plus some countries as well.
All three of these jobs have kept me pretty tied down. I just dropped my EMS for a while to free up my schedule, but will go back into it when I leave law enforcement in the next year.
I enjoy meeting people from all walks of life and interests.
I'm a pretty laid back, yet off the wall person. Enjoy laughing and clowning around when not busy. I've enjoyed getting into the fire fighting world, wished I did it years ago! But I enjoy the best of three worlds right now.
You can find me on Facebook and Myspace: www.myspace.com/ SwanfireDawg

Why I Joined Fire/EMS: I figured I could stand around and watch people suffer or I could be someone who could help in an emergency situation.

Top Issues Facing Responders:: Lack of enough funding for smaller agencies, lack of volunteers in our area.
