Why I Love Fire/EMS

"Making a Difference!!!"

Top Issues Facing Responders:

Staffing is and always will be an issue in any EMS or Fire Department. We are a highly underpaid and under appreciated group of people. I also feel that Paramedics do not get the respect they deserve from other medical professionals such as nurses and doctors.
