Other Comments:
45 years in the Fire Service in various positions from tailboard Firefighter to Chief & Fire Instructor, now a Fire Marshal with 4 years in the Highway Patrol inbetween. First firefighting class was at RTC San Diego, never did I think it would be a career. First job in Law Enforcement was as Base Security at NAS Key West. As a Fire Marshal I have combined my Fire Service and Law Enforcement careers. After 8 years of blowing things up as an AO 45 years of Saving things. Not Bad.
