Why I Joined Fire/EMS

So I may give back to the community and help others in their time of need.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

the chance to save a life or to be there at a critical vulnerable time for someone and do your best to soothe and comfort them, to run into flames and a dangerous situation to put yourself in harms way so others may live and have a better day because you and your brother and sister Firefighters and emts/medics were there to keep it from getting worse,
