Vidal Carrillo
Mi nombre es Vidal Carrillo, y nací en los Estados Unidos. Mi familia es de México y crecieron en el Distrito Federal. Pasé la mayoría de mi juventud en la ciudad de Los Ángeles, California, pero elegí una escuela privada en Colorado para mejorar mi vida y aprovechar las oportunidades en ese estado. Mis pasatiempos son cualquier actividad al aire libre y disfruto leyendo historia. Siempre he sentido una profunda pasión por el trabajo de bombero. Mi camino comenzó trabajando en las montañas de bombero forestal y disfruté estar en la naturaleza, pero mi objetivo era formar parte de una organización más grande. También empecé a trabajar en el hospital, donde presencié de primera mano la crucial labor que los primeros respondientes llevan a cabo. Ahora soy bombero para la Autoridad de Bomberos de Poudre en Fort Collins, Colorado, y me enorgullezco de pertenecer a mi departamento. Estoy ansioso por colaborar y aprender de mis camaradas Mexicanos. Creo que al compartir experiencias, podemos mejorar colectivamente nuestras habilidades y reforzar nuestro compromiso con la seguridad pública.
