Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I wanted to be a ff ever since I was 5 y/o. When I became fourteen I joined a cadet program in Utah. We moved from there, and I ended up in Oregon. In order to fill this childhood dream. It was now or never. So I did. I loved the brotherhood. Rising as fast as I could and being respected were my main goals within. I loved helping people and the hard work, both emotionally and physically. I could never have asked for a group of people so dedicated, willing to push you beyond what you think your capabilities are. And they brotherhood of always having your back. It was my family....and I love it.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

adrenaline and aiding people. I want to be the best I can.
