Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I joined our volunteer department just to take photos in 1992 5 months after my husband joined . Soon after that we had a fire that we were pretty short handed on and I was needed on a hoseline even though I had next to no experience. As much as I liked a camera, I liked spraying water more.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

ROLLING UP TO A BIG FIRE, TAKING TWO SECONDS TO GO "WOW" AND THEN GOING TO WORK.
