In an effort to introduce the community to our members, we will periodically spotlight a different member. It is our privilege to introduce Aaron Donaldson.

He received his professional Fire Fighter's Certification in November 2008 which included, Fire Fighter I & II (National Certification) and courses that focused on search and rescue training, vehicle extrication, emergency vehicle operation, aerial devices, hazardous materials, incident command systems, and wild land fire suppression. He passed the Candidate Physical Ability Test, and is also a NYS Emergency Medical Technician.
