- 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.
