Chief,

I am moving to Escondido, CA in the 15th of July. As a Firefighter Chaplain for over 25 years I am eager to "reattach" my self to a fire department. The chiefs of Bakersfield City Fire and Kern County Fire Departments will attest that I have served well the past 6years in addition to being the only Trained Trainer in Critical Incident Stress Management Basic, Group and Emotional And Spiritual Care. I ran many county wide CISM training in addition to serving on both departments CISM Teams.

I am The Salvation Army officer now assigned to Escondido. Would you help me find my way around? I come to serve. There is a partial biographical information on my page or a resume is available by request.

Blessings

Major David Ebel

Nice to meet you. I "was" a Pipe Student until tonight. The Pipe Major moved me to Bass Drum as our guy is going to be gone for the next 18 months. That guys rocks too... talk about pressure!

Happy St Patty!
