Why did you join ?

Why did you join the fire dept. the real reason?. My reason is because of my brother he OD and was unconsious and cold we called 911 two medic's showed up and the fire chief and 1 other volunteer . They needed more help and kept paging out are station . Finally a station from Virginia Beach showed up to assist and they got him out on life flight . That's when i realized that more people were needed at the fire dept. and about a week later the chief approched me and asked if i wanted to join so i took him up on it . And here i am in the academy getting trained . But that's my deal what's your's ?.

    I was looking for a job where I had just moved. Being former PD the service calling felt natural. Still on training but responding to calls. I am the only female though there was one prior who no one liked but won't tell me why. The boys seem ok with me but I know of I fail I at something I am held to a different standard. My chief and assistant chief are working hard to make me feel like part of the team.
