Bedford
County VA Fire Chief Jack Jones EMT-P (far right)
Good Friend of Ours Makes His Own Success.....
Reverse
15 years...EMT-Paramedic Jack Jones from West Mifflin EMS left the area to
go fly on a single medic, single engine tiny helicopter in in central
upstate New York State. Having to make all his decisions on his own and
being solely on his own when the patient crashed, Jack leaned how to use his
skills to the best of his knowledge and THEN some. Jack was a great
medic with a ton of Rescue and Fire experience that he gained over the years
at West Mifflin EMS and several other South Hills EMS services. Jack
landed on his feet as Chief of Bedford County Virginia and now pretty much
runs the entire area of Virginia made up of both paid and volunteer rescue
and fire squads. Take a look at the area and action that Jack see by
searching Bedford County VA. The area is beautiful and the action is
present. Like I said, Jack landed on his feet and is running like a
professional Wildman. Jack has truly come into his own. Please look
for articles from Jack and several other EMS and Fire officials here at
SteelValleyFire.Com.
