EXPERIENCE

December 2013 - October 2018

As the Lieutenant, I was responsible for all truck and tool maintenance, driving and directing the crew to the fire, and running the calculations necessary to keep the environment as safe as possible while utilizing the charged and pressurized hoses. If the Captain was not present, I would step in as acting captain. As acting captain, I would also write incident reports and log them, take reports from homeowners and contacting landlords, connecting individuals or families with resources, contacting arson if needed, and upon return to the firehouse, making sure that the truck and tools were maintained and that everything was prepped for the next call.

Pike Men enter the fire to perform search and rescue, salvage of important belongings, and are also responsible for identifying the fire hotspots.
