- About Me:
- I've been around the fire house for years. I desided to make career change. After some testing for a paid department in Maryland I was finely give the chance that I have dreamed of. That day I was also on my way to another job interview, knowing that I already had the job. Now faced with what to do. I had to do some major thinking. Take the 24-72 shifts of fire fighting or take to m-f job? Well after some talking with the wife I took the job monday through friday, where I am employed at the Harley-Davidson Motor Compay as Industrial Fire Marshal. There I'am in charge of the ERT where we respond to med. haz-mat and fire related calls with in the 230 acre plant. I have a large list of code inspection that I'am requeired to complete weekly , monthly and yearly. I'am required to investigate all fires. I also deal with the plaining of new projects that may need fire protection as in fixed systems and hot work permits...now layed off. but I still have mowing
