Why I Joined Fire/EMS

Through my fathers involvements I became hooked at a very young age, but ultimately to provide for the common good of all.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

It simply is a way of life that not all or everyone can take part in while helping your "neighbor"

Top Issues Facing Responders:

less and less funds of which to be providing more services with while seeing the department involvement continue to decline
