ICS courses 100, 200, 700, & 800. SCBA training i am working on right now.
About Me:
im obviously a new firefighter. working on getting qualified for interior. im the air force as security forces. (small terms.... a cop.) i am stationed in colorado springs colorado. Im in the United States Air Force now. i finished basic military training on 13 february 2009. i am currently taking a break from the fire department for my time in the military. but as soon as i get out i will be a firefighter again. in my heart.... i will always be one. its been my life since i was about 14 years old. and always will be.
my father has been a firefighter since before i was born and it is something i always wanted to get into. i enjoy helping people as much as i can.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
i love the adrenaline rush you get when that pager goes off and i feel the need to help people in any way i can.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
not enough people that would sponsor or help out their local fire departments. not enough money for the gear and supplies needed for the firefighters to stay safe in the fires or on any calls.
sorry its been so long since ive been on here... i didnt end up testing in the springs. i just had a baby so it was hard to get in. but im no longer living in the springs. im now living back in upstate ny. i wish i would have tested there.
You doing something that will benefit yourself and your family. I agree with you, its something great. I love the airforce, so never get me wrong, i just think the marines would push me the way I need to be. I hope you have a great time, you'll have to keep in touch when you go. Take it easy
