At Sheldon Community Fire & Rescue, with our Employee Spotlight we aim to accomplish a few things:
1. Put a face to the firefighters who serve the community, and
2. Show our great appreciation to our members with the department with recognition. In this Spotlight, we would like to introduce District Chief Jose Munoz:
Jose is a family man with an amazing wife and two handsome boys. Outside of the fire service, he enjoys entrepreneurship, owns an event venue in Sheldon, enjoys beekeeping, and anything business-related. He is driven to serve others.
How Long Have You Been with Sheldon?
I’ve been with Sheldon Community Fire & Rescue since 2004.
What Did You Do Before Firefighting?
While attending EMT class and the fire academy, I worked as a car salesman. After earning my TCFP certification and EMT-B, I transitioned into a full-time career as a firefighter and have been serving ever since.
What Drew You to Firefighting?
After graduating high school, I wasn’t sure what career path I wanted to take. A friend who was volunteering with Sheldon invited me to join, and from my very first experience, I knew I had found my calling. I immediately fell in love with the fire service, enrolled in EMT class and the fire academy, and have proudly been with Sheldon ever since.
Do You Have Any Hobbies?
I enjoy spending time with my family, and learning about business and entrepreneurship and beekeeping.
Any Advice for Someone Who Wants to Get Into Public Service?
Do it! It’s one of the most rewarding careers you can have. Being there for someone during one of the hardest moments of their life is a privilege. Firefighters truly have the best job in the world.
Message from the Employee
Never give up. Life will always present obstacles and challenges, but perseverance is what separates those who succeed from those who quit. Stay focused, keep moving forward, and never stop believing in yourself.
