Jade Parker

I am interested in full- or part-time water rescue, technical rescue, and urban search and rescue opportunities.

I have four (4) years of operational experience as a volunteer Firefighter/EMT in Anne Arundel County and Baltimore County, Maryland, including nine (9) months in water rescue special operations.

I am licensed by the National Registry and the state of Maryland to provide basic life support as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT-B).

I have strong training portfolio in water rescue, technical rescue, hazardous materials response, and sUAS operations. I hold ProBoard certifications at the Technician-level in all the foundational technical rescue disciplines: Confined Space Rescue Technician, Trench Rescue Technician, Rope Rescue Technician I/II, Vehicle Rescue Technician, and Structural Collapse Rescue Technician. Additionally, after the 80-hour Structural Collapse Technician course, I successfully completed a further 100 hours of Advanced Interior Structural Collapse and Advanced Exterior Structural Collapse in the US&R Rescue Specialist program at Texas A&M Engineering Extension Services (TEEX).

I am also a Hazardous Materials/WMD Technician.

My national certifications in water rescue include Swiftwater Rescue Technician, Surface Water Rescue Technician, and Watercraft Rescue Technician (Swiftwater Boat Operator). Lastly, I am ProBoard-certified as a Remote Pilot-in-Command for Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) and hold an active remote pilot’s license from the FAA to conduct aerial search operations for the fire service.

I have completed ICS-100, ICS-200, ICS-300, IS-700, IS-800, and an Emergency Vehicle Operator Course (EVOC).
