Fire Wire’s Newest Staff Member
The
Northland Fire Wire is proud to announce that Mike Zadra of Virginia has been
brought on board to assist in the production of The Northland Fire Wire and The
Northland Fire Wire website. Mike
will be handling some of the photo and videography operations at Fire/Rescue
Communications of Northeastern Minnesota. According
to Fire/Rescue Communications President Peter Makowski, Mike is a very avid fire
buff who just loves the fire service. “Mike
will be an excellent addition to our team,” said Makowski. “It is my hope that he will eventually be a very key player
in our video operation, which is just getting underway.” Fire/Rescue Communications plans to develop a series of
training videos featuring fire departments and EMS operations in the region.
“We had been planning to do this for a long time,” said Makowski.
“We just had to wait for the right person to come along and I think
Mike is that person.”
One of Mike’s chief responsibilities will be fire scene photography and
videography. “Mike will responding to many of the fire calls and EMS
incidents in the area,” added Makowski. “Our
hope is to build a video library, which can be used to augment our training
videos. Another goal is a fire
department public relations piece, which would appear through the local cable TV
systems. This video would promote
the region’s fire departments and the important role that they play in the
community.”
Fire/Rescue Communications wants to work in cooperation with area public
safety organizations and training facilities.
The development of the video production operation is just one part of the
Fire/Rescue Communications’ family. Fire/Rescue
Communications is based out of Virginia, Minnesota.
