Profile Information

Department:: Kannapolis Fire Department

Title/rank:: Division Chief

Years of public service:: 22

Agency structure:: Paid fire department

Top issues in your department:: Lack of sufficent personnel. Very young department wiith explosive growth expected over the next 5 - 10 years, which means our officers will have 5 years or less experience. Generation gap. How to prepare and train everyone for department future needs.

Topics you provide training for:: The old cliche jack of all master of none. You name it we provide the training or we schedule and get the instructors here to teach it. Personally I teach basic firefighter qualifications, confined space rescue, live burn, incident command and several other classes.
