Why I Joined Fire/EMS

Being a jock, guys on the fire department was looking for a young guy that was energetic, plus the fact I thought riding tailboard was cool as hell, so I joined.
I was hooked and have stayed in it for the right reasons, this is my passion.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

I love the self satisfaction of helping people in the time of need.
