Why I Joined Fire/EMS
My father was the asst. cheif of the Laurel County Fire Dept. when i was young so i started setting in on some training and just got hooked to the rush i got from going to calls.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
The Joy you get from being able to use your talent and time to help someone in need
Top Issues Facing Responders:
I believe that the biggest issue facing emergency services in general is the glory race some people seem to make it. Too many people think that Emergency Services is nothing more than a way to get some glory in their community, when it is really about saving lives and property.

Hey dude, I saw your post, I was too busy laughing at all the safety buffs to comment, because I didn't want them to freak out. We have an CD on our Engine, Squrt, and Rescue.. they include music from Papa Roach, Disturbed, Breaking Benjamin, Linkin Park and even a little Nickelback. Like you said, it isn't like its loud, just gives some extra motivation to do the job.

O.K. Wes, go to your profile info page. Under your name should be a profile picture place. Click on the icon that looks like a small picture. It should bring up a browes button, click on it and it should go to your picture files. Choose the one you want and then hit the save button, I believe. If that doesn't work give me a shout back.

I'll get right back to you.
