- About Me:
- I am a 30 + veteran of the volunteer fire force. I have held the Asst. Chief position for 4 years and have held the Chief position during the Ice Storm of 1998. I have had multiple fire experiences including some of the best training in the country while I resided in Maryland. I became a Truckie during my early years and had to return to Engine Company Ops during most of my career. Nothing drives me with more pride than being a firefighter.
- Day Job:
- NYS Corrections Officer
- Side Jobs or Other Organizations:
- None
- Top Issues Facing Responders:
- RECRUITMENT - We have to get the State involved and mostly ourselves to make this job important enough to be involved. Today's youth have not been taught to care about their community as much as themselves. We have to show them that we a organization that is fun and worth joining. We have to come up with idea's that they relate to and will join. Most of all we must start early (12 -15) and not turn down any that join at age 16. If we wait till
18, we will loose over and over again.
- I Love Being in Fire/EMS Because:
- It is the most direct way to give of yourself to your community.

Janet Fife said… - www.blackjackholder.com makes a mount specifically for our light. I think I can get a sample for you, let me check.
I am so impressed with the construction out there. Fires are a daily thing out here - always see smoke on the horizon...areas north of Los Angeles burning right now. Under control by this weekend but over 160,000 acres burned so far.
Have a great weekend.

- We engineer specialized illumination tools. Initially for the military, then police and now our new line is focused on fire/rescue. Remember Arnold's lazer from the Terminator movie? -That was us.
The first two handheld lights have been released (I would be happy to get a sample for you) and the remaining lights in the series will be out by the end of the year.
