Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I joined my local ambulance corps when I turned 18 because of my experience with them. When I was 17, Corps members responded in an unsuccessful attempt to resuscitate my mother, who was experiencing a myocardial infarct. I was driven to return in kind, and to prevent another family from going through the loss that I had. To date, that is still my motivation- circumvent tragedy, and comfort the survivors.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
