Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I joined the fire service because I wanted to make a difference in somebodies life. I know that sounds cheesy but it took me almost 8 years for somebody to say "Thank You" for doing what I do and meaning it, not just saying it because everybody else does.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

I am an adrenaline junkie!
