Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I originally wanted to become a fire investigator. Later finding out that you have to put your work in as a Firefighter, I was more attracted to the Rescue portion of the job. I received Associate Degrees in Fire Protection and Fire Investigation and ran Fire and EMS in volunteer and paid positions. I now realize that I would rather do nothing for the rest of my career than Fire and Emergency Services.
