ABOUT TIME!!

















I sometimes wonder why I have always wanted to be a firefighter. It might be the thrill or the pride but I also remember parades and how cool the big red trucks were. well I still get just as excited every time I see one. This truck was the new truck for Bonneville County and had a big NO FEAR sticker in the windshield. Bonneville County recently donated this truck to Ammon Fire Dept. and now I get to play with it.

I have been trying for over two years to get into Louis F. Garland Fire Academy and now Im finally here I came down here with Ifsac firefighter I and Driver Operator certifactes as well as Haz mat operations and Emt basic so some of these classes im redoing at the Acadamy. I will also add dept. of defense (dod) certificates. This academy will add Firefighter II and Aircraft Rescue not to mention the experience of one the the worlds best fire academy Im glad after this long I can Finally add this to my resume. next step is an associates degree in fire science. About time!!!

Fire School

Coleman has been gone to Fire school June 15th. We miss him tons, but are so greatful for all the knowledge and experience he is getting! He has wanted to be a fire fighter since... well, birth, so in working towards that goal and aspiration he has joined the National Guard, and volunteers for a department back home. He is getting tons of certifications, and would love to work full-time for a department somewhere!

Keep up the good work, Cole! Come Home Soon!
