EMT, FF 1, Intro to FF, PPE, wildland fire, other FF classes
About Me:
I am a member of the church of Christ. Please do not send me anything that is dirty. I volunteer for the crisis center in NW Arkansas, which includes but not limited to: crisis telephone lines and I am a member of the CISM team. Love to play softball and volleyball. Like to watch pro and college sports (mostly college football and basketball). I have been all of the Arkansas Razorback home football games (expect 3-4) in the last 20 or so years. I supervise part of the first aid at the games.
I joined the Johnson Area FD in 1992 because I had my EMT license and nowhere to use it. I wanted to help people in a medical way, but did not want to work in the hospital area. Plus, I think fire is one of the most beautiful things on this earth; you know what I'm talking about 'when the fire dances'. I work now is an EMT doing mostly wheelchair and stretcher transfers. I really like making people feel good when they don't feel good.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
Because I understand when people get hurt they also get scared because they don't know what's happening to them. I love it because I know what is going on and I can explain to them and hopefully give them some peace.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
They aren't paid enought to do the hazardous jobs they do.
People - rubbernecking, getting in your way, getting in your way while going to a scene.

I'm NOT offended and definitely understand what you are saying. So much terrible bull crap going on. I just got off from watching Ladder & Backdraft and got back on this site.Notice you have comments there also.Hope you aren't doing this by cellphone, will eat your time up.If you im (internet message by phone in commputer, it prints out publically also). Some people don't know this and cuss. Sometimes I get so angry I cuss. My town is so screwed up you have to cuss to let off steam to keep from kiling somebody!
..I don't fully understand the friend invite thing yet or exactly what it means. Perhaps, its to e-mail privately. Will let you know.
..Not to scare you, but I looked up a reletive's name and came across a death row inmate posing as a priest using it! (John Livingston).Just because someone goes to church doesn't mean they aren't Satanists and many investigators pose as gang members and killers and bad religions.
..Falling asleep again, so will close for now.
..May the God of whatever your chosen religion may be, protect and keep you safe.
Tana,
..Also,good luck to you and stay safe.
p.s.-The Constitution of America grants the right to practice evil relegions as well. Personally, I have no religion but was studying different ones when I was trying to find a new church to go to. I was brainwashed Baptist as it was the religion of my family but I have been to many different churches. There fore, I suppose you might say I am non-denominational. However, I choose not to go to church as I find too much hypochracy and in my town most people go just to gossip about who all they saw at the casino the night before. I'm certain that in a life or death situation, if you are carrying a dieing person on a stretcher they may want to confess their sins or refuse medicine or shots or allow to induce labor because it might be against their religion. It makes all medical and emergency personel to have a difficult time. I wish you the best in your endeavors in any situation.

Tana, I did not send you a friend invite-I DON'T do friend invites. I'm public on everything. I got your message thru BillyDeatherage's name somehow. Need to read my profile.Were you using his site at time?
..There is a feature somewhere on here that you can put a FILTER on your site to block nasty stuff. Also, need to get spamware and spyware blocker for your computer.
..What does religion have to do with saving a life?
