Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I used to work an ambulance service many years ago. I enjoy helping others. I also repair these types of the trucks and engines. Now, my son is a FireFighter at #116 and urged me to join because of the shortage of drivers. And it gives me more time with my son who's 24 and still likes me!

Why I Love Fire/EMS

Makes me feel complete.

Top Issues Facing Responders:
