Who is a Vet, Active or First Responder?

Hello, I am a career first responder, had all disciplines including Fire, EMS, Dispatching, and Law Enforcement. The primary job a homicide investigator in fires, bombings and explosions. Also canine handlier.

At paramedic level of training I have been on over 10k runs and also flight medic.

At the end of my career I was a sergeant Ranger for a county Parks system. It was a lot of fun!
