Why I Joined Fire/EMS

When I was four there was an industrial complex fire in my city. My Pops took mw to the fire line because I was frightened to talk to a firefighter (Dad's best attempt to calm me down). A tired fireman kneeled down on his way to re-hab and told me 'don't to worry kid", he would'nt let our city burn down. I was hooked!

Why I Love Fire/EMS

I am honored to aid others, when the angels are still responding.

Top Issues Facing Responders:

Long term cardiac health of first responders and sticking to tradition even when it compromises our safety.
