Experience
I have been a Firefighter with Nelsonville Division of Fire for three and a half years. I worked part time for 2 years and I am currently holding a Full Time Firefighter position, which I have been in for the last year and a half. I am currently acting Senior Firefighter and will officially take the title of Senior Firefighter on April 16 2024. While in my position as acting Senior Firefighter I have been Incident Command for many fire scenes and vehicle accidents until our Chief arrived. I have been tasked with scheduling our part timers and assisting in setting up and teaching trainings for the Fire Department. I have worked through major staffing issues, including working a 72 on 24 off schedule when we had our line of duty death and a lot of our members were leaving. I am very dedicated to my Fire Department and I feel that I would be a strong addition to another Fire Department as well.
