Summary

I am seeking a career with the Asheville Fire department. I feel my skills sets, and hard work ethic will be beneficial to becoming a proficient firefighter. I’m team oriented and work well in stressful situations. I fight fire with North Carolina Forest Service, and would like to continue this experience and education into a full time fire fighting position. To be able to learn the skills necessary in a career where I can help my community in times of need is what draws me to this position.
