| Joe Glover | Teacher |
Hi, I am Deputy Chief Joe Glover and I have been teaching at the Pine Forest Fire Academy since 2017. The courses I instruct include Firefighter I, II, III & IV. Before becoming the fire academy instructor, I served in the U.S. Air Force Reserves and the Pensacola Fire Department where I retired as the Deputy Fire Chief. My goal is to ensure that I play a role in helping students to develop essential job skills while giving them the knowledge necessary to obtain an Emergency Medical Responder industry certification. I have a bachelors degree in Fire Science and a bachelors degree in Fire Service Administration. I have always been passionate about public service and mentoring the youth in my community. In my spare time I enjoy sports, exercise and traveling to new places.
