Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I've always had a tremendous interest in the medical field, as well as a penchant for being an adrenaline junkie....this satisfies both my cravings! And as a bonus, I get enough time off to pursue the things I love like traveling!

Why I Love Fire/EMS

It's my home away from home! I love my second family!

Top Issues Facing Responders:

Budget crunches, trying to do more with less, fighting the opposition to increasing the level of medical care (the "we're firefighers, not doctors" mentality), changing dynamics of the fires we encounter.
