  Lester A. Fuzell, Sr.
                              CEO & Administrative Career Consultant
My name is Lester A. Fuzell, Sr. You might ask what makes me qualified to give you advise on how to pursue your desire to become a professional firefighter? I began my career at 16 years old as a Fire Explorer with the Orange County Fire Department (California). After a short stint with the California Department of Forestry, I was employed by a large metropolitan California County Fire Department at 18 years old! Of note is that my oral interview score was 100%!

My thirty four years of career service include time as a firefighter, Explorer adviser, firefighter/paramedic, fire inspector, arson investigator, engineer, fire captain, firefighter candidate interviewer and personnel background investigator.

I have successfully coached and mentored many young men and women who have shared the same desire, as you, and who have gone on to become professional firefighters.

When I started, there was no one to guide me as to how to look for a position or how to complete or submit an application. I learned through trial and error the importance of networking and appearance. I developed a method of research and tracking that proved useful in seeking out and competitively seeking the jobs that we're out there. I also developed some other methods that kept me in the know.

It is said that knowledge is power. Information gives you some degree of knowledge, but all the information in the world is of no use to you if you don't understand it and you are not guided how to use it to your benefit. The trick is to take the information you learn and put it to use.

I am confident that the information offered in AfroFireHire.com as well the direction I offer to you will help define your objectives and may help you realize your goal of becoming a professional firefighter.
