Why I Joined Fire/EMS
My father was a policeman for 30 years, my uncle a Fire Chief and policeman, my cousin was a fireman, it was in our family's blood. So one day I said I would like to be a fireman and got asked then why don't you? I couldn't say why not, so that started the road. Since then became a medic and hazmat tech. Guess I just like the rush.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
The feeling of Brotherhood, the chance to help the community, and of course playing with FIRE! GRIN
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Low pay in our area causing people to leave for higher paying jobs as soon as they are trained

Well I have an announcement for everyone. I have gotten a couple of promotions at work. I am now the C Shift Commander, and also promoted to Captain. Looking forward to the new responsibilities of these positions.
Well due to an accident at work on Feburary 2, I am out of work for a while. I was coming down some steps at night and they had been covered in ice. Of couse it is night and couldn't see the ice, and with no railing on the steps, I slipped and fell landing on my shoulder and hip on the right side. I was a trooper (for whatever reason) got up and brushed it off. About an hour later, I am throwing up twice, but still I am going to continue. Well my leg gave out about 4 hour later and I fell again… Continue
