Robert Weidman is one of 20 firefighters who were welcomed into the Bloomington Fire Department in April. Prior to the month-long training he received through the BFD, Weisman earned an associate degree in fire science, and certifications in firefighting and emergency medicine. He is currently working on a bachelor’s degree in fire administration.
“I have a passion for the fire service,” Weidman said. “I have worked full time for two other cities and a federal defense contractor. Besides part-time firefighting, I have also worked part time as a deckhand, a lifeguard, an EMT and a paramedic.”
His wife, Amy, and their two children, Arthur and Zoey, are proud of his service.
Weidman said he encourages others to seek ride-along opportunities if they are considering a career in fire service. Learn more about the BFD at blm.mn/fire.
