Age: 33
Years of Service: 8
Primary Occupation: Paramedic
Why did you join the Fire Department? Having worked as a fire protection sprinkler system designer for many years, joining the fire department providing an additional avenue into the realm of fire protection and prevention. And who doesn't want to be a firefighter.
What do you enjoy most about it? The same thing that every boy likes about the fire department; big trucks, flashing lights, chainsaws, and breaking windows. With age, I of course appreciate being able to offer assistance to those in need, which provides more fulfillment than breaking down a door.
Why should someone else become a Fire Fighter/EMT? Being a fire fighter and providing EMS services requires constant education, training, and an overwhelming commitment to putting yourself last to further the greater good. If you would enjoy furthering your education in fire sciences and medical services, crave perfection that practice creates, and are willing and available to drag yourself out of bed at 2:00 am and help someone out of their overturned car when it's -20ºF, then maybe your community can use your help.
