About Me:

Remember...A thinking firefighter never gets excited and a excited firefighter never thinks.

You have to evaluate everything you do in this job; what the risk factors are and what goals you hope to achieve by excepting these risk...

Being paid to fight fires...doesn't make you a professional

Day Job:

Fire Service Instructor
