Summary
Working as a volunteer firefighter requires you to work as a team and build strong relationships with fellow coworkers. I am very passionate about what I do, and have taken initiative to excell in my career as a firefighter. It is a physically demanding job and I pride myself on being able to meet whatever physical standard is set so I am able to perform my job to the best of my ability. I am looking to expand my knowledge so I can ensure my community has the best quality of care. I am a team player and can adapt to any setting. I believe no matter where I go I will excel and perform to the best of my abilities.
