Dear Cayuga Heights Fire Membership:
I have been nominated by the Nominations Committee for the positions of Assistant
Rescue Director (272) and Lieutenant (283). 1 personal Iy have confidence in al( of the
candidates nominated by the Nominations Committee and from the floor, and know that
there is a tough choice to be made by the membership. The following is provided in
hopes that it is of assistance to the membership in making a decision.
As most of you know, I became interested in Fire and EMS because of my older brother
Phillip who has been a long time member (currently Exempt) of this department and a
former chief. I spend many years hanging around with him and the other members at the
old station, and officially became a member in the Spring of 2000. 1 have been an active
member ever since. Currently I respond to approximately 80% of our fire and EMS calls
and f am frequently command at many of these calls.
I have been an Interior Firefighter since December of 2000, and an EMT -D since June of
2001. 1 am currently in the process of testing out for my EMT -I certification. In addition
to the course work I have already completed, I intend to continue and refresh both my
firefighter and EMT skills and classes.
I have attached my "Fire(EMS" resume for your further review and consideration. If you
have any questions, please feel free to come and talk with me. Thanks.
Susan
