I am a Professional Firefighter with Parker County ESD #6.

I am prepared for whatever the day may bring because I am mentally and physically fit for duty.

I continually develop myself through training and education while developing those around me through mentorship. I lean on my past experiences when making decisions and pass those learned lessons onto my peers for their future success. I will earn my position every day.

I honor those who came before me and their sacrifice to my profession. I respect those whom I serve with and welcome their opinions, even if they differ from my own. I will be quick to listen and remain approachable to my peers. My responsibility is to leave this organization better than I found it for those who serve after me. I empathetically serve the citizens of the District, no matter the degree of their need.

I live my commitment to duty through selfless service. The needs of the community and the team come before my own, however, I must take care of myself in order to care for others. Loyalty to my customers and the organization is reflected through the decisions and actions I take. I am proud to be a member of my community and will continually strive to make it better.

I understand that often the highest service that I can perform is that of empathy. I am compassionate and considerate to my customers and my teammates.

My character is unwavered as I hold myself to the highest standards of integrity, honesty, and accountability on and off duty. I will not make excuses. I take ownership, find solutions, and take action through initiative. I value the leadership of others, understanding that the greatest achievements are accomplished through teamwork. I am willing to complete difficult tasks while holding myself and those around me accountable. My credentials are my fellow Firefighters, my character, and my commitment to duty. I will make mistakes, and I may fail; however, I will learn from those lessons. I will not stop, I will not quit, and I will continually improve myself, my team and my organization.

I stand ready to serve my neighbors, communities, and region at all times.
