- Why I Joined Fire/EMS
- My stepfather was a cheif for Greentown Fire Dept so i was raised in it all my life. I've seen everything, and have ridden every fire truck that i can't even remember their names even. When my mom and he seperated and we moved into Mount Pocono i decided to devote my life to fighting fires.
- Why I Love Fire/EMS
- I love to help other people and giving my daughter someone to look up to
- Top Issues Facing Responders:
- I feel like certain fire fighters are becoming more cry babies than actually doing their jobs. We need to stop complaining and start working together with our brotherhood and sisterhood and being the best firefighters we are.
