- About Me:
- Just an old guy whose family started in the fire service when I was 2 weeks old, and I just can't seem to get it out of my system. Now retired, but not tired, we are into several organizations that are Fire related: www.BrushFireDefense.com, www.SDPPhotos.com (we used to provide EID services for three FDs), and www.ACTS1R.org (helping to train people in a new assistance service for 1st Responders). My wife was an EMT/EMT Trainer (CA & ID(. So yes, we may be "over the hill" and on the downward side picking up the pace, but we are still supporting America's Fire, Rescue & Law Enforcement agencies throughout the United States. Oh, by the way... Yes, we drive an old folks car (1988 Lincoln Town Car) but people love our other vehicle - 1988 Ford/Horton Ambulance! We like Ford Products & older vehicles and just couldn't resist this unit that we resurrected from destruction!
- Day Job:
- See Above
- Side Jobs or Other Organizations:
- In addition to above, I take as much of the BHS Training that is available. Am active in helping to get our citizens CERT Trained. There is no need to for us Americans to not be knowledgeable about being prepared for the unknown. We can't expect emergency services to be able to help EVERY person if there was a catastrophic disaster. We have to be able to take care of ourselves and this includes 3 - 7 days in some cases. My wife and I provide Emergency Incident Documentation for several Fire Departments. You can find photos online at both: www.SDPPhotos.com or at: http://brushfiredefense.ning.com/profile/23p1jxhzab8aq. We have several thousand Fire & Rescue Photos. We do not post photos of accidents online in respect of those who were involved in the accident. We've documented extrication accidents as well as various other vehicle accidents.

- Top Issues Facing Responders:
- Safety, Training, & Communication that works - we don't need radio systems that have a 1 or more second lag time in transmissions. Life can be gone in 1 second!
- I Love Being in Fire/EMS Because:
- I get to help people in need
