Just found the site a couple weeks ago and decided to join! I volunteer in Northern Virginia in Prince William County as a Firefighter, have been doing it almost three years now and absolutely love it. Can honestly say I have not done anything in my life I enjoy more, and wish I had done it as a career out of college! The unfortunate thing is I dated a firefighter/EMT/Paramedic almost 10 years ago, but she never encouraged me to get involved! I wish that she had!

Thanks Terry! E513 is pretty busy, isn't it? I'm usually on TW525, once in awhile E525, and soon, for the next 4 months anyways, I'll be on E505. That'll put me to sleep, except for the train next to the station!

Welcome to Firefighter Nation from a volunteer in Prince George's County MD. I did a ride along a year ago at station 511 and maybe I'll get the chance to do another ride along sometime soon.
