Firecareers.com Founder Craig Freeman Wearing the 9/11 Patch
Firecareers.com Story: In 1979 I went to work for the Los Angeles County Fire Department, working on an Air-Attack hand crew assigned to Camp 9-2. While working with 30 other young aspiring firefighters, I developed a system to contact different fire departments to get the recruitment information we needed to take firefighter tests. I became the "firefighter test information guy" in camp. After a couple of years of testing, I landed a firecareer with Oxnard Calif. Fire Dept. I started my city fire career in October 1981 and just retired March 3, 2009. Craig and his wife Pam run
