To whom it may concern,
I have more than 20 years’ experience in the fire service. I have demonstrated an excellent understanding of firefighting principles and practices. I have studied and practiced medical techniques, identifying and performing defensive/offensive measures of a Hazardous material incident and I have gained valuable experience in performing safety inspections ensuring structures are in compliance with local state and federal codes. I have demonstrated the ability to communicate orally with customers, clients or the public in face-to- face, one-on-one settings which develop a great relationship between my workplace and outside resources.
As a student of physical fitness I have pride myself of exceeding feats that tests my own capability – physically and mentally. I have used my body as a testing ground for some of the most grueling, spirit-breaking workouts imaginable. My love for fitness and pushing the boundaries eventually led me to become a firefighter years ago and those same traits develop me into a well-rounded skill set including mentally. I am confident I could step in and make an immediate impact to the department, I am confident with the documented history of exceeding expectations through performance my background and core values reflect your mission statement which includes continuous improvement of consumer service, respect for citizens and the organization and the commitment to protecting life, property and the environment while maintaining professionalism of the highest standards.
