Description
In this presentation, I will talk about my experience during my internship with the McMinnville Fire Department. I will share the different types of emergency calls I went on, such as medical calls, fire alarms, and rescues. I will explain what I learned from these calls and how they helped me understand the fire service better. I will also talk about the values I saw in the firefighters, like teamwork, communication, and staying calm under pressure. As part of my internship, I worked on a project to create a mobility program to help firefighters stay strong and prevent injuries. I came up with this idea by watching how firefighters move during their shifts and doing research to learn more. This experience helped me grow both personally and professionally. It also showed me that I want to keep working in the fire and emergency services in the future.
