Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I wanted to give back to my community. I figured joining the Volunteer Fire Dept. and First Responder would be the perfect way. Firefighting is such a rush, like you all know I'm sure... and helping people on the responders is such a fullfilling feeling.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

Helping people... plane and simple... and the sweet uniforms!

Top Issues Facing Responders:

Money and manpower in a volunteer setting... not enough of it in small towns to keep it going and up to date. We used to have 2 ambulance vehicles and a full team for each. We have since downgraded to first responders and only 1 vehicle. The fire dept. just filled it's last spot, the first time we've had a full roster in at least 2 yrs. Our dept. depends on local gambling, donations, grants, and various fire dept. sponsered activities to purchase new equipt.
