Summary
I have over 20 years of experience working with Davie Fire Rescue. I have worked up to the rank of Battalion Chief over the years and have been in my current rank for 8 years. I had the opportunity to work in Administration last year as a Battalion Chief in the EMS Division. During this time period, I have assisted in planning, conducting, and implementing several MCI drills. During these drills, I have had the opportunity to work as a S.M.E., evaluator, coordinate logistics and personnel, plan with different agencies/departments, and moulage, amongst other items. I appreciate the opportunity to work and gain more experience in more expansive, challenging scenarios.
