Don Davis is a fire lieutenant and paramedic with Clackamas Fire District #1 located in southeast Portland, Oregon.  He is a 20 year veteran of the fire service having served with Las Vegas Fire & Rescue and Salem Fire Department in Salem, Oregon.  He has been on multiple emergency services development teams, providing training to organizations in Peru, Cambodia and Vietnam.

"We have had the opportunity to see how this training makes an unbelievable difference in peoples’ lives.  These teaching missions break down cultural barriers, increase positive relations with other countries, and most importantly, save lives.  Following our training, we have seen an immediate positive impact in the communities.  Students of our courses have reported how they have used the skills learned from our classes to save the lives of others.  To see how some of these organizations have evolved and are now training each other without our assistance is truly the most rewarding part of our missions."
