Introduction: For just about 22 years, I have been a paid firefighter in Baltimore City. For the past several years, I have been certified as a safety officer. I wrote accident reports as well as injury reports on the fireground. I made sure all individuals were functioning according to OSHA standards as well as to the firefighter rules and regulations.
I answered to an incident commander when necessary. I was trusted with overseeing large fires as well as dangerous conditions.
