Why I Joined Fire/EMS: It's something that's just in your blood!
Why I Love Fire/EMS: that the public trusts us (for the most part) to solve problems that they can't!
Top Issues Facing Responders:: Is there enough space for this question...I think that the push for realistic training is gone which leads to undertrained, less prepared and even sometimes less motivated fireman (firefighters). It also annoys me that the traditions within the fire service as well as our individual houses have been lost due to various reasons. I guess those are my two biggest things, so I'll stop there.
