Bio:
My Name is David Klotz and I began my career in the fire service 5 years ago with the Medford Farms Vol. Fire Co. Located in Tabernacle NJ. I have for the past four years served as a firefighter EMT on the company until this year when I was eleceted as 2nd lieutenant. Currently I am a full time student at a local community college. I have taken many classes at the fire training center in a wide rage of topics. I am one of the bigest proponets of training our department and I believe that training is not somthing that you should every stop doing. I am currently working towards an Instructor Certification in the State of New Jersey. I am always looking for new training ideas and I would never say I am an expert in any feild just that I study and train very hard in certian ones.
