Nicholas "Cole" Hurst
Lieutenant
Osage Beach,MO
Summary
Highly motivated firefighter with in-depth knowledge of safely suppressing fires. Thinks quickly under pressure and remains calm in stressful situations. Offering almost 10 years of experience in efficiently responding to fire and EMS alarms. Proficient performing emergency diagnostic and treatment procedures.
The fire service is a passion of mine that I have always been a part of. High School and College Sports taught me teamwork above and beyond the average graduate. The years spent at Mid-County offered an accelerated dynamic in teaching and instructing individuals on and off the job. I cannot see myself doing anything different.
The goal is to make a difference for firefighters in the future. If I can can make an impact on even just one firefighter then I will be more than proud of my individual career, let alone the pride and happiness that comes with being a part of a family dedicated to the community I call home.
