| Rich Haney Fire Captain/Paramedic |
| I have been involved in the fire service since 1985 when I started for Clearlake Oaks Fire as a volunteer firefighter. I received my EMT-1 certification in 1980 and started out working for the private ambulance service in 1981. I received my EMT-II certification in 1984, Paramedic in 1989. I was the first Paramedic for Clearlake Oaks Fire Department and helped establish our current ambulance service in 1991. I have been full time paid for 10 years. My current position is Fire Captain / Paramedic / Training Officer at the Clearlake Oaks Station. My ongoing project since the summer of 2000 has been the establishing and operation of Lake County’s first Fire Rescue Boat. I am currently the Chief Operator and instructor for Northshore Fire’s marine division. On the side, I run a small Computer repair business and also function as the IT Repair Tech for Northshore Fire. My personal interests include boating and water sports of course, target shooting, camping, computing, aviation and whatever cool games I can get for my Playstation 3. |
