My Training:: Paramedic, firefighter extroidinaire. Started taking classes for fire in 86. Fought my first fire in 88.

Oklahoma City Fire Rescue 1993-1999 School of hard knocks Squad 21(retired), Engine 21, Engine 8

By the way, I have worked for Huntington Beach Fire Department since early 99'.
HBFD is now, and always has been one of the best fire organizations in the country.
We train our butts off. We are all robots who know exactly what to do by instinct.

So training, yeah I got that

About Me:: When I started my career I wanted to be Chief, then I settled on Capt., now I think being a fireman or engineer (driver) is the only way to go.
Political BS made me want to become a business man instead. I am hoping my website will take off and I can sleep uninterupted for life

Why I Joined Fire/EMS: My step-dad and uncle were Riverside City, CA firefighters. Once I had my first interior direct attack on a fire I was hooked. Actually saving peoples lives got me really intersted in EMS. And, of course, the ladies love firemen

Top Issues Facing Responders:: Political bullshit in smaller departments. My career has suffered greatly from personality discrimination, ie I do not play well with others.

If you want to succeed, do not give your opinion until it is given to you.

The rigs are falling apart and the station is falling in around us but we have a heck of a time. No we don't get many bikini's around here and to tell you the truth I don't think I would want to see our clientel in that attire. Be safe bro
