Summary

In my role as an Aerial Specialist with Savatree for nine years, I developed a diverse skill set that I believe is directly applicable to firefighting. My responsibilities included pruning or removing trees over houses, near power lines, and in public spaces. This was accomplished through various methods, such as climbing with rope systems, operating bucket trucks, or coordinating picks with crane operators. These experiences have honed my ability to work effectively in teams of three or more, manage high angle tasks, handle heavy and complex equipment, and remain adaptable and clear headed in high stimulation environments. I believe these skills will translate well into becoming a capable and resourceful firefighter.
