About Me:

My husband is a 3rd generation firefighter on our department. Seems like I was always at the station anyway. It was just a natural step to begin handling the call after we had been dispatched from the County. I am a founding member of the Kalamazoo County Firefighters Support Group. A non-profit organization dedicated to supporting our firefighters, their families and the community. We work to help firefighters families understand the demands of a paid on-call firefighter, help the community understand the dedication and devotion the job takes and helping our firefighters give back to our community thru public awareness and education

Why I Joined Fire/EMS

Husband is 3rd generation firefighter on our department. I was always at the station anyway. Dispatching was a way to spend quality time with him and understand more about the job.
