Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I took a wildland fire course as part of a park ranger training program. My instructor mentioned that more and more wildland firefighters are doing structural work. To be better trained in structure work I signed up for the local volly FD and haven't looked back.

Why I Love Fire/EMS
