Apart of the response to the Paradise, California Fire. American Red Cross DR 769-19 Camp Fire. I have been working with our DST team here at the American Red Cross DROHQ Disaster Relief Operation Headquarters while working TIMS CS Customer Service my job included providing computer, printer and cell phone troubleshooting. My job included being apart of what I call a DST Disaster Services Technology Road Team to install equipment ( hotspots, printers and computers setting up the WiFi and pointing the equipment with IP addresses) and provide end-user assistance. So traveling to remote sites such as our American Red Cross shelters such as the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds in Chico, California. And equipment recovery and accountability at out Shelter at the Butte County Fairgrounds in Gridley, CA and it Oroville Church of the Nazarene in Oroville, CA. And supplying our American Red Cross FAC Family Assistance Center in a former Walgreens with a computer and printer I would not have been able to deploy if a local animal hospital didn't offer to provide  me with boarding for my dog for the two weeks. And also the support from the local animal shelter in which I volunteer at for my aging dog in which is like comfort therapy dog to me. As watching the news and social media sites about the devastation and destruction of the Camp Fire and wildfire that destroyed Paradise, California. You want to go and deploy and do what you can do to help. So I was all pack up to go but had to scramble to try and find away for my aging dog and cat to be taken care of for two weeks before I could sign up and be deployed with the American Red Cross Deployment to Chico, California DR 769-19 Camp Fire.

#WA8UNS @WA8UNS #ThomasQuickKimball #ThomasKimball #ridgefieldct #Ridgefield @ridgefield in #FairfieldCounty #FairfieldCountyCT #CT #Connecticut Thomas Q Kimball of Ridgefield, Connecticut wanted to share welcome to the American Red Cross DST Disaster Services Technology Communications Group office at our new  DROHQ Headquarters in Fort Myers, Florida at two office suites next to the At American Red Cross Lee County Chapter Fort Myers, Florida. Feeling proud to be able to show what I had did in pictures photos as this was my first time doing any of this. 

The above and only training I had for American Red Cross DST Disaster Services Technology Communications Service Associate. DST-CM-SA. And to my understand there is about 8 or 9 more course classes in the American Red Cross DST Disaster Services Technology Communications Group. So I had a lot of Just-In-Time Training at on a real American Red Cross Deployment.  But I ended up doing everything in American Red Cross DST Disaster Services Technology 

I did everything but Communications (Radio) as there was NO (Radio Communications) going on at the time so did Networking (computing), Computer Operations and Customer Service. 

I did things like setting up computers, fixing computer issues, IP issues as all and most of the computers to printers where all wireless,  you name it I did it just like MacGyver and or James Bond 007. :) Just made it happen with the knowledge I ready had plus also referencing the doc as well.

This my first National Deployment with the American Red Cross since I have two animals a dog and cat in whom need to be taken care of as I had written on my Facebook page: Many Thanks must go to my parents Chris and Frances Kimball in whom had watched my two kids of the four legged type. Without there help I would not have been able to leave Ridgefield, CT and be able to help others with the American Red Cross down there in Florida. As I have no wife and or girlfriend and or close friends to have around to be able to watch and take care of my two kids of the four legged type.
