About Me:: I started in the Fire Dept as a volunteer, and it transpired from there. I was already in the National guard doing another job and it was fitting that I could let the army train me and save my vol some money. I became a paid person about 7 years ago and was deployed to Iraq in 04 and while I was gone My paid dept went combi and I had to become an EMT after I returned home. Well It's been a couple of years and I kinda like the medical side so I am probally am going to paramedic school soon.

Why I Love Fire/EMS: being in the midst of the stuff and being able to help people

Top Issues Facing Responders:: There is only one issue that I am serious about and that is just funding. We do what we do because it is a calling for most of us, and we are not here for the money but I'll be Damn if we do not deserve to earn a living so our families can live comfortable.

He was killed in the line of duty on 8-06-08 responding to a residental burgular alarm. Deputy Compton was walking up the residence when he was shot. I know that we respond to many fire alarms at and never think that this could have been a fireman and not just a police officer.

I need to say that I will never know what the families are feeling or are going thru but my heart and mind goes out to them and I will be praying for them. I hope that all will remember and thank another brother for what he or she does. I love all as my own blood and hope that there will be nothing but good change for the city of Charleston and that they will successfully step into the future with sound minds and covering each other and supporting the families of those thst gave their life for the call.
