Department:: Terre Haute Fire Department

Title/rank:: Firefighter

Topics you provide training for:: Mostly specialize in Live fire, RIT, and Survival. I also do all the basic topics too.

Bio:: Well, I started in a small volunteer fire department making about 325 runs a year. I stayed with that department for 7 1/2 years working my way through the ranks from a private to Lieutenant to Chief. While volunteering I got hired as a career firefighter at a military installation and worked there for 3 1/2 years moving the ranks from private to Lieutenant. I then got hired at the municipal fire department I currently work for. In this time I moved volunteer fire departments and stayed with that department. I currently do not volunteer anywhere. I now teach fire classes for the state of Indiana and currently the Live fire instructor for Indiana District 7. My current fire department makes approx. 9,500 runs a year., we have 6 Engines 2 Ladders and 3 Ambulances in service.

Thanks for being patient with me...I know my lack of RIT training slowed the class down, but overall I think everyone was supportive and that is what being a team is all about!

This group will focus on aggressive interior firefighting. We will address tactics that increase your chance of not getting jammed up and cover what actions to undertake if you do.We will cover some big issues as well as small tactical tips
