About Me:

Out here writing a book... researching it... NOTHING to do with the Fire Department... But all the same, I got hooked just like everybody else here. Loved my training and all the people I met. Learning a ton. NEVER in a million years thought I'd be driving a big-ass apparatus to a fire, let alone knowing how to flow water from one of those big dogs.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS

Had done wrecks for a couple of years on HWY 17 in Nor Cal. Never did anything about fires but keep away from them. Thought it would be cool to learn to kill them. It is cool.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

Along with the usual bloviating, the admiration of my son.

Top Issues Facing Responders:

If you have issues you can't overcome - learn to. If you get too many issues - grab your helmet and crayons and run, little buddy, run.
