Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I have always wanted to be a Firefighter/Paramedic its from watching to much Emergency. The defining moment that made me take the leap was I was at a school for Aircraft Repair in Utica NY when we had a plane crash and I didnt know what to do. So I made the decision to get some training and it went from there.
