Jason T. Poremba is the owner and creator of Firefighterspot.com, a leading video blog focused on firefighter safety. His ‘Close Calls on Camera’ section on FR1 won Best Regularly Featured Web column/Trade category in the 2009 Maggie Awards, which honors the region’s best publications and Web sites. Jason is currently a 15-year member and 1st Lt. in an engine company of a volunteer fire department in New York. His specialty training includes rapid intervention, firefighter survival and engine company operations. His passion for firefighting has led him to develop a way to train firefighters via the Web in the dangers of firefighter close calls, and dangerous training and firefighting procedures. In a technological age, videos rule and leave lasting impressions. Jason’s hope is to educate firefighters via video to help put an end to unnecessary repeated firefighter mishaps.
