Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I started as a kid in the local fire dept. After high school I got away from it. I rejoined in my home town FD in March of 2000. I have been in EMS since 2004. I am a Captain in my local FD, and an EMT working in 3 different services. It IS my life.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

THE RUSH OF HELPING OTHERS.
