Why I Joined Fire/EMS

Before I Joined, I was a Police Explorer. When I aged out, the head advisor took me aside and asked me why I wanted to be a cop. I answered him that it was because I liked to help people. He advised me to join the Fire Department Volunteers. A week later I did, and have been hooked since
