My Training:: I have received extensive medical training. Every year our department has training on auto-extrication, hazmat incidences, and anything else we can get our hands on.

About Me:: I am a outgoing firefighter living in South Jacksonville Il. I have been exposed to the FD my entire life. Growing up my best friend and I virtually lived at the FD with his dad being the Assistant Chief. I am currently a Medic in Springfield Il at America Ambulance. I like the job but fultime FF is my goal. I am taking classes through IFSI in hopes of becoming a certified FFII. Maybe that will get my foot in the door.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS: It's the repeated story of I wanted to be a firefighter my entire life.... everyone has heard that one. No need to repeat albeit true.

Why I Love Fire/EMS: Where else can you go home smelling like smoke and think you smell good!

SCBA, Searches, or even if your dept can afford it.. go to a near by burn building and learn from more experienced firefighters.. good luck and stay safe
