Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I started in a high school cadet program in Montgomery County, MD. I stayed as a volunteer and was able to make a career of it in Texas. I love it all, ops, fire apparatus, history...

Why I Love Fire/EMS

Always something different going on and new things to learn.

Top Issues Facing Responders:

The same issue that everyone has, "Why worry, bad stuff always happens to someone else!" If we don't take care of ourselves, who will be left to take care of the public? Safety, safety, safety and prevention.
