This Proud Tradition that we call the job was founded by VOLUNTEERS.We are the back bone of the fire services,cities cant and most times wont respond to the rural areas that we work,the rural areas cant afford to keep paid folks sitting around waiting so here we are.Ready to go at a drop of a tone day or night and we do it because we care enough for our fellows to be there in their darkest hours.I've said before you cant choose this for a job,it chooses you.It comes from the heart and soul,anyone can learn the steps but walking the steps is a totally different thing.Its not about getting any kind of rewards its simply to help your fellow humanbeing.A very well known person once said that NOTHING BEATS AS STRONG AS THE HEART OF A VOLUNTEER.Be proud of who you are and what you do,do it in as professional manner as possible and always as safe as possible,you may not even like some of the people you work with but when the tones drop that stuff is left behind at the bootbag,there is no room for attitudes or egos on the job.With that said remember everday is training day so EVERYONE GOES HOME. Godbless and Godspeed

I dont think Joe public understands the sacrifices that we make from the mised family time,cold or missed meals,lost sleep and we still go to work the next day! Not to menton what our familys endure. But we chose this and i wouldent trade it for the world. I work with some of the finest people i have evre met in my life.
BE SAFE!! becouse WE ALL GO HOME
Dont you just wish they could see what we see. then they would know what its about!
