Fire Officer of the Year in 2005.

Another first for us was during a trip home from an EMS convention in Las Vegas, when a gentleman had a life threatening cardiac event at 32,000 feet. I had the pilot divert the flight to a closer airport so the gentleman could get proper advanced medical attention. The crew who came to meet the plane said it was a true medical emergency.

It helps the responders that do not yet have a team or would be worried that they asking for help would be seen as weakness. Please join and share it when you can. As a chaplain with over 25 years of service to fire departments I am excited with it's potential to provide support.
