Pete V Martinez III
Fort Worth,TX
Summary
In my almost 30 years with the FWFD, I have always taken pride in the uniform I wear each day. This pride is enhanced each time I represent the FWFD Honor Guard. During my time at the BFP, I tried to conduct the best and most complete inspection in order to ensure the safety of both the citizens and fire personnel of Fort Worth. I believe my attention to details could be an asset in the WRO position due to the FWFD transitioning to the Maximo program. Being detailed oriented has assisted me in completing thorough commercial inspections while in fire operations. Being in a high visibility area working closely with TCU has allowed me to develop the necessary skills needed to deal with a variety of situations. My commitment and attendance at work has always been a priority and is reflected in my records.
