About Me:: Been happily married for almost 10 yrs now to my best friend. Volunteer with one of the county fire departments when I can. Normally, my husband is my driver. I use to driver semi-trucks cross country with my husband...you would not believe how many accidents we either came across after the fact of right after they happened. I helped out more on the road than I do at home.

Relationship Status:: Married

Why I Joined Fire/EMS: I joined the volunteer departments as a way of giving back to my community. I have been active in this way of life since I was 13 yrs old. I was considered one of the first cadets in the county when they started that program. Now, one of the members of the first department I was with, is now our county fire marshall. Funny how all of that works. Then late 2003, I had the opportunity to become an EMT. Something that I had always been interested in, especially after my dad had a heart attack (that happen in '96). When I saw what needed to be done and no one was around to help, thats when I knew it was my time to start looking into the medical field. Now, here I am...

Why I Love Fire/EMS: Been happily married for almost 10 yrs now to my best friend. Volunteer with one of the county fire departments when I can. Normally, my husband is my driver. I use to driver semi-trucks cross country with my husband...you would not believe how many accidents we either came across after the fact of right after they happened. I helped out more on the road than I do at home.

Top Issues Facing Responders:: Not being able to get a crew together in time; when rig goes down have to first-respond in other fire equipment instead of rescue, political issues that hinder the growth of the department; constant personnel changes. These are just a few things of concern to me.

I am new to this site and so far, i'm liking it. currently, i am not active as far as being a firefighter, just EMS. I gave up the fire about 11 yrs ago. Caught in a scary situation and said that it was time to back out. Don't get me wrong, fire still fasinates me, but just can't fight it. So, that is why I now do the EMS thing...still lets me be a part of my department and community. With that in mind, I am looking at making new friends in NM and all over the world on this site. Would love to… Continue
