This morning at the annual Firefighter Preparation seminar in Livermore at Las Positas College (coordinated by Fire Alumni), I had the incredible opportunity to present “25 Reasons to Hire you as a Firefighter.” I had a blast, saw a lot of old friends and acquaintances (Bob Atlas, Brian Helmick, Ron Johansen, Craig Freeman, Paul Lepore, John Walsh, Arnie Brockmire, Tonya Hoover, just to name a few), I got meet some new friends, and I got to meet lots of future firefighters who ventured out there from around the state, and even out of the state.
If you weren’t there, where were you – we missed you! There were about 300 future firefighters and about 20 or so current firefighters there to make sure the future firefighters came away with some valuable information. I believe this was the 6th year they have hosted such a conference, and it keeps getting better every year. For those that want a copy of the PowerPoint presentation, please go to my website at www.chabotfire.com and click on the FIREFIGHTER HIRING PROCESS COMPONENTS link – you’ll find that PowerPoint and many more that you can learn and benefit from to assist you in your pursuit of becoming a Firefighter.
