Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I joined Fire/EMS for the sole purpose of helping others... I have been doing what I can to help anybody and everybody that I can. This is just the icing on the cake... It is my life.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

I have loved helping people since I started shoveling driveways at age 7, cutting lawns, helping people with their groceries, and now that I can do it in other ways as a career for the rest of my life is priceless.

Top Issues Facing Responders:

I think one of the top issues facing responders right now is the response of us responders. The fact that people drive so fast and are unaware of their surroundings and getting hurt/killed could easily be prevented. I know there are emergencies that need a quick response but there is no need to jeopardize your life or anyone else s. Because now you just made the situation that much worse. Be safe out there and use your head!
