Why I Joined Fire/EMS

To make my kids proud and make my community a better place. Like most other Firefighters I'm also an adrenaline junkie!

the brotherhood, the rush and the let downs, the job ITSELF

Top Issues Facing Responders:

Budget issues, the fact that most departments are overlooked or taken for granted: Until they are needed and then they can't be on scene fast enough.
