I Live: (City, State)
Deltona, Fl
Years in Fire/EMS:
Since 1996
Why I Joined the Fire/EMS:
I enjoy the dynamic challenge that every shift presents. It isn't the same dull, sit-at-a-desk kind of job that slowly kills people. It makes me think and challenge myself to become better every day.
Relationship Status:
In a Relationship
Primary Fire/EMS Department:
Deltona, Fl

N/A
My Training:
Currently a paramedic. Also certified in ops level VMR and rope rescue; technician level structural collapse, trench rescue, confined space rescue, and hazardous materials.

I have completed Fire Officer I certification classes and am one class away from finishing Fire Officer II.
About Me:
I've been a cop and a firefighter-being a firefighter is MUCH better!!
Side Jobs or Other Organizations:
Working on developing a side career as a writer
Personal Site/Profile:
http://myspace.com/firebear369
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Politics and financial issues can be extremely difficult for agencies. Getting the average politician and tax payer to understand why we need up to date equipment and recommended minimum staffing are difficult, up hill battles.
I Love Being in Fire/EMS Because:
The diversity and the fact that my cohorts will do anything to help a brother or sister out.

A video worth watching

As we come up on the anniversary of the tragic loss of nine brothers in Charleston, my battalion officer played a video for me. I'm not going to lie, I was crying like a baby right in the station. Its sad, but, powerful and motivating. http://www. youtube. com/watch?v=8GQ4xsn0d_I Its a real reminder that everything we do can affect those around us, even if we are gone. You'll have to cut and paste the link, but I promise it is worth the effort.
