My duties as an EMT/Security Officer are to provide overall security to the facility as there is classified information and projects being carried out. I am the first point of contact when entering the facility to all visitors, contractors, and anything pertaining to deliveries. I conduct patrols around the facility and do hourly inspections on machinery. My security officer duties also include escorting, important personnel and protecting highly classified information hence why I obtained a secret security clearance to hold my current position. My position at this company also includes being an emergency medical technician, and a first responder to any emergency in the facility. This allows me to administer emergency medical care to all personnel who are injured or become sick in the facility due to the dangerous nature of the projects being worked on.

I joined the Kensington Volunteer Fire Department after graduating from the DOD Fire Academy and coming home to start my career in the USMCR. Within the KVFD I have achieved the rank of firefighter and respond to emergencies within my local town. I have responded to MVAs, extractions, structure fires, brush fires, CO alarms, lift assists, car fires, assisted life-star, mass casualty incidences, and other types of different emergencies. I also treat patients with trauma injuries on the EMR level which is authorized in our standard operating procedures. We receive weekly training each Monday to prepare for any situation that may present itself in our town. I am also a part of the “Squad 4 Rescue Team” which is a group of more advanced firefighters that focus on more tactical rescues, entrapment, or extractions. I also hold the title of assistant Foreman of the firehouse which means I am responsible for the equipment we use, which entails making arrangements for equipment to be replaced or repaired if needed and doing weekly inspections of said equipment.

After joining the United States Marine Corps Reserves I was assigned the military occupational specialty 7051 Aircraft Rescue Firefighting Specialist. The military sent me to the Louis F.

While working for fail safe LLC my title was fire hose technician. I was responsible for testing the fire department’s equipment and verifying that it was in working condition to be used in an emergency setting. I would test the fire hose by pressuring them to the maximum pressure it was rated for, then assessing the hoses for leaks, burst, cracks or any other defects. I would also test the ground ladders by placing them under the maximum weight it was rated for, then assign for any defects and overall durability. I would travel to fire departments in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, Maine and upstate New York being on the road for weeks at a time. This job educated me on equipment used by fire departments with a focus on the fire hoses and ground ladders.
