Why I Joined Fire/EMS

Is there a better feeling knowing you have helped someone who dials three numbers and gets several thousands of dollars worth of equipment, just for them?

Why I Love Fire/EMS

There isn't anything better!

Top Issues Facing Responders:

Facing volunteers is obviously staffing, training requirements, and the ever changing type of responses. A car wreck isn't always just a car wreck. Is it a mobile meth lab, drunk driver, or unknown hazmat response.
