haha, yeah, i guess those jobs arent for everyone, i still wouldnt mind SWAT, but maybe after a while with firefighting, idk, lol

really? lol, thats pretty cool, i knew i wanted to be a firefighter, but i also wanted to be a US Marine, thought about SWAT for a while, but i finally came to the realization that firefighting was my thing, so im gonna stick with it

haha, no, it for sure isnt, im pretty excited about Fire academy, i have wanted to be a firefighter since i was like 8, lol

wow, now that is quite amazing! if i had done my research earlier, i probably could have been a volunteer by now, but, its ok, lol, btw, awesome playlist you got up, got some of my favorite songs on there! lol

Damn girl, Firefighter at 15, good job! i wish i had started getting into the fire service sooner, lol, i guess better now than never, anyways, take care.

They will....but even now still get the jitters lol...Guess thats why firefighting gets in you blood.

Thats exactly right jess. Be safe out there.

Jessica, You go girl! Keep up the good effort.

Jess,you got plenty of time.Fighting fire's is not for everyone.I have a few members that have the certs.,but they rather do the other important jobs that go along with the firefighting aspects.Take your time,the answer will come to you.I wish I had 10 of you's.

Thank you for the add on! Nice sounds on your page.

Jessica,There's nothing like your first fire scene and you will never forget it.I too was nervous,it's the human nature in us.There is something else you will never forget and that's your first interior attack.I was nervous on my first attack,but if you stick to your training,you will do just fine!On my page the top head line is what I tell my guy's all the time.

Hey just wanted to say congrats and hang in there i have been fighting fire for 14 years and finally made Chief this year

I was just stating that is what I would have done. The ambulance would be another report for injury claim. The workmens comp thing usually gets denied, (proof or workers injury) and police report would document the injury as well. The dog actually assaulted the kid and the PD would usually quarantine the animal around here while they test for rabies. If the owner can prove the animal does not have rabies, then the victim may have been spard from the painful series of shots. This might not be the first dog bite for this animal... and may have to be handled by the law enforcement. Small bites usually lead to bigger ones, next time could be a small child to the face, etc. Without the proper documentation the owners will plead "this is the first time"

um well last week 3 but the week before that 5 and this weekend we have had 1, an MVA.

Hi Jessica
I seen your post on Jr leaving school to respond to calls. As a Chief and a schoolboard member I think this is a very bad ideal. That is something that as Chief I would not allow, that is for me. As to your other questions you had, I'd contact Mr. Ronnie Day Exc. Director of the KY Fire Commision in Frankfort, he a super nice man and should be able to give you some info on your other question. Are you all under the BSA Exporlor program and the Bagbad Fire Department . Here is the problem I see, under state law a person under 18 years old cannot be a firefighter, it's in the KRS under Chapter 95, I think that the jr firefighter program is a great program and we need it to get a jump on all the training that is required to become a firefighter. Two of my younger members started as Jrs. But I could not enter any of their training until they were 18 years old. And to be covered by the workers Comp Ins the state carries on a member they have to be listed as a member of the department. Please don't let this keep you from following your dream from becoming a firefighter, I started making runr with my father at age 15, it helps if he the Chief, but that was in the early 70s when the fire service in Kentucky was in the dark ages. I've got a son your age and he to is very interesred in fire service. I've told him the same things I've told you. Please be Very careful and Please keep Following your Dreams..... Jeff Wright Chief West Point Fire & Rescue West Point, KY
