Ronnie Hicks Retired Assistant Fire Chief, San Diego Fire-Rescue
What I like about working for the organization is the family feeling I get every time we are in discussion or attending conferences. We truly all care about one another whether we work remote or in the home office. Also, being able to stay in touch with colleagues in or just out of the Fire Service throughout the United States and Canada has meant a great deal to me!
Jim Harmes Retired Fire Chief , Previous IAFC President

We help victims in their time of need. It is a very rewarding part-time job. We work with great people, and I really do enjoy it.
Jack Parow Retired Fire Chief, Previous IAFC President
When I retired from the fire service, I wasn’t ready to leave. I wanted to stay connected and contribute to the community. This job has given me the opportunity to do so. I continue to work with the best people in the world, first responders. I am lucky to still be a part of this mission.
Scott DornanRetired Deputy Fire Chief
I have worked with this organization for the past six years after retiring from my position as Deputy Chief and PIO for the Oklahoma City Fire Department. It has allowed me to continue working with respected fire officers while giving back to the community and helping citizens in their time of need. My job gives me a tremendous feeling of honor and pride. I couldn’t have hoped for a better second career!
Tony YoungRetired Deputy Fire Chief
I have been working with these guys since years now! With lots of hard work and timely communication they made sure they delivered tI have been in the fire service for 44 years. As a Fire Chief for 15 years and a ranked officer for 25 years, this job has allowed me to be continually involved with my fire service brothers and sisters. I enjoy this job more than any other position I’ve had. I recommend you come aboard for the ride of a lifetime.
Jack EskridgeRetired Fire Chief
How does one follow up a 30 career in the Fire Service, the greatest job on earth, well I found it in this organization. If you still have a passion for helping people and staying connected with the Fire Service, give us a call. You can join the rest or your retired Brothers and Sisters having a blast.
Rich BramosRetired Battalion Chief , Broward County Sheriff’s Office
I’ve been with this company for about 4 years, this organization has given me the opportunity to not only continue assisting victims of tragic events but it also keeps me in touch with my firefighting brothers whom I worked side by side with for over 30 years. I couldn’t have imagined a better fit for me after retirement.
Tim LafuenteRetired Public Education Officer / Recruiter, Austin Fire Department
"What I enjoy about the position is the feeling of satisfaction after having the pleasure of working with the victims during a traumatic time. The look in their eyes says it all."
Richard BennettDirector of Emergency Services, 1-800-BOARDUP of Northeast Ohio
"I love being a Director of Emergency Services for 1-800-BOARDUP. I've always enjoyed helping people, and my position as DES gives me the opportunity to, in a way, extend my fire service career. As a firefighter and officer, I did not fully appreciate the situation the victims of fire find themselves in once the fire department leaves the scene. Being able to step in and assist people when they are in a terrible situation is personally rewarding for me. The hours are very flexible, and I get to interact with fire and police personnel that I've known for years."
Bruce KroonDirector of Emergency Services, 1-800-Boardup of Seattle
"I have always struggled with citizens' post-incident response limitations we have all encountered in the fire services. The thing I enjoyed most in the fire services was the camaraderie and shared experiences with fellow fire services providers; however, I did not believe it was possible to continue experiencing the fire service culture until the 1-800-BOARDUP Victim Advocacy Mission provided me with both the fire service culture and acts of service for my fellow citizens."
Ed RaulersonDirector of Emergency Services, 1-800-Boardup of Seattle
"As the only organization in this arena that provides victim assistance services, I have the ability to have a direct effect on individuals experiencing disasters by serving as their advocate and helping them move to the next steps of recovery.
I can remember leaving fire scenes with the family on the sidewalk with a "what do we do now" countenance. 1-800-BOARDUP provides me the opportunity to be the "what now" for individuals and families, and help ease the burden of figuring out their next move, while meeting some immediate needs they may have (housing, clothing, and other basic need)."
Louie BrightDirector of Emergency Services, 1-800-BOARDUP of Dallas Metro
"Director of Emergency Services with 1-800-BOARDUP is a position that has come with considerable benefits and support. The benefits of the position are that I get to work for a very professional and best-practice organization that is the leader in victim services support. Other benefits include progressive social media platforms and the support from all superiors and support staff. To say the staff is professional in their roles does not do the statement justice… their energy and commitment are second to none at 1-800-BOARDUP.
The other benefits of being with 1-800-BOARDUP include the ongoing participation of being retired from the fire service by keeping in touch with colleagues. The best job in the world continues in retirement with 1-800-BOARDUP. I am please to tell people about my role and how 1-800-BOARDUP supports victims and fire departments in times of need."
Dean ColthropDirector of Emergency Services, 1-800-BOARDUP of Fraser Valley BC
"When I first looked into being the Director of Emergency Services at 1-800-BOARDUP, I wasn't sure if I was ready to leave the public safety world. I've spent years helping people in crisis, and I worried this new role might take me away from what I love most—directly helping those in need. But what I quickly learned is that I'm still deeply involved in supporting people and business during their hardest moments, and in some ways, I'm even more hands-on than before.
As a Director, I'm able to assist families and business owners immediately after disaster strikes. Whether it's securing their homes or properties or helping them find the resources they need to recover, I'm still part of the response that brings relief and stability. The reward comes in knowing that, even though the nature of my work has shifted, the purpose remains the same: helping people when they need it the most"
Beau CrowdingDirector of Emergency Services, 1-800-Boardup of Seattle
