Jason Poremba, Close Calls on Camera

Close Calls on Camera
by Jason Poremba

Jason T. Poremba is the owner and creator of Bestfirefightervideo.com, a leading video blog focused on firefighter safety. Jason is currently a 14-year member and 2nd Lt. in an engine company of a volunteer fire department in New York. His specialty training includes rapid intervention, firefighter survival and engine company operations. His passion for firefighting has led him to develop a way to train firefighters via the Web in the dangers of firefighter close calls, and dangerous training and firefighting procedures. In a technological age, videos rule and leave lasting impressions. Jason's hope is to educate firefighters via video to help put an end to unnecessary repeated firefighter mishaps. As well as Jason's videos at Firefighterspot.com, you can also see a selection at FlashoverTV.com. You can contact Jason with feedback at Jason.Poremba@FireRescue1.com.
