Samuel Porterfield
Bishop
Summary
Dynamic professional with a proven track record at Athens-Clarke County Fire Department, excelling in fast-paced environments. Skilled in problem-solving, leadership, and adapting to change. Committed to learning new things as I grow, while also practicing humility. My time as a Fire Corporal has been a learning experience for the next step in my career. Fire Sergeant displays more responsibility and accountability for those in my current position. It is now time to take a higher leadership role. I have worked the past 3 years at Station 4, which is the department's Technical Rescue station. Special certifications are required to operate out of Station 4. I hope to continue bettering myself and Athens-Clarke County.
