Electrician

Why are you a volunteer firefighter, EMT, or rescue provider?
I am a volunteer so that I can give back. I have known since I was a little kid that I was going to be a firefighter and as soon as I did that I began the road to being an EMT.

What year did you join the fire or emergency services?
2012

What are your memorable moments as a firefighter or EMS provider?
Wow, there are too many to count – from helping someone whose house is on fire to helping lift an elderly person off the floor.

What contributions have you (and your department) made in your community?
We go to the schools and teach fire safety as well as the local Ag Expo and anything else the community asks.
