Conversations with David Miller

Today we’d like to introduce you to David Miller. 

Hi David, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My name is David Miller.  I have been a firefighter for 9 years now.  I have had the opportunity to live all around the world being in a military family.

Fire PALS started with an idea my wife Mikayla and I had while driving to dinner one night.  We saw a book box on the way, and I was thinking how cool it would be to have one painted to look like a fire station with fire safety materials inside it.

Our mission at Fire PALS is todeliver Fire Safety information and books to our youth while empowering community leaders.

Short for Fire Prevention and Life Safety, Fire pals is a community outreach organization designed to harvest fire safety awareness through children’s books and fire safety activities. Each fire safety item is carefully selected to enhance the child’s ability to recognize an emergency and react safely.

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
For the most part, it has been smooth. A lot more networking and grassroots than initially expected as well as eating up a lot more of my free time than anticipated. 

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I am a Lieutenant with St Cloud Fire Rescue. 

I founded Fire pals Inc a Nonprofit 501c3 

I am an instructor at the fire college 

I am very proud of being able to take an idea and bring it to life in the Fire Pals project. 

Is there a quality that you most attribute to your success?
Integrity and ownership
