Engineer

Americus Fire Department
Americus, GA
04.2015 - Current

As an Engineer, I safely transported personnel and equipment to emergency incidents, properly positioned and operated the apparatus, established and maintained an adequate water supply, kept the apparatus and equipment response-ready, and supported the company in accomplishing its assigned mission.

As an Engineer riding the Captain’s seat, I led my crew and kept everyone safe. I assessed the scene, gave clear assignments, maintained accountability, communicated with Command, and made tactical decisions based on conditions. I watched for hazards and changing conditions, ensured my crew stayed together and followed department procedures, and communicated my company’s progress and needs. My focus shifts from operating the apparatus to managing the crew, making good decisions, and safely accomplishing the assigned objective.
