Jesse began his firefighting career in 2005 with Wheatland County where he continues to volunteer and help train members to this day. He joined Calgary Fire Department in 2009 and upon completion of his probationary year became a vehicle extrication instructor. Jesse is always looking to further his own skills and that of the crews he works with. Being on multiple departments has helped him learn skills from both rural\/agricultural to bigger urban settings. Jesse began teaching with AVEA in 2022 after assisting with farm ex\/heavy rescue courses within Wheatland County for a few years prior. His passion for teaching and continuous learning has grown over the years and looks forward to continuing with AVEA.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
