Firefighter Resume Example Company Name

Shelton Pinckney

Summary

Vigilant Firefighter with six years of experience performing firefighting and emergency medical duties. Passionate about protecting lives and property through dedicated service. Committed and physically fit professional. Works cooperatively with other first responders to gain control of emergency scenes. Expertise in HAZMAT handling, hostile fire events and mass casualty events.

In the course of my life I've found that communication is the most important resource.
