a little about me

I became a firefighter because I wanted to help people and it is a family tradition. My father, four older brothers and oldest sister were all fire fighters even my youngest sister became a fire fighter until she got married and moved.

I joined when I was sixteen as a junior fire fighter.At twenty one I became a second LT. and rose threw the ranks to Captain. Was a Captain up until three years ago when I became Assistant Chief. I do a lot of training with the new guys' and ladies until they go to fire school.

Well I have finally gone and done it! I was elected chief and my term started the first of Janaury 2009.
My main goals are to get my people well trained and working as a team.
