About Me:

I am currently a Junior member, but I don't mind because I am always learning new things about firefighting, our trucks, and equipment. My volunteer career with the Fire Service all started during a major storm that hit the coast of Maine in the early spring of 2007. I volunteered to help the fire department pick up debris, search for downed power lines, and pump cellars. The department was very appreciative and highly suggested that I join. I might possibly go farther with this career and go to college to become a full time firefighter, but I am currently interested in going to college and the Maine State Police Academy to become a Maine Game Warden.
