About Me:

Why I Joined Fire/EMS

When I got my first speeding ticket, I was going to do community service hours at my local fire department. While there, a call came in for a vehicle wreck. The fire chief asks if I wanted to tag along. Of course I said yes. Ever since then, I've been hooked on firefighting.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

the sense of pride to know that I make a difference in the lives of people.

Top Issues Facing Responders:

the disrespect towards the departments. Everybody expects way too much from us. They complain when we don't make it there fast enough, but they don't think twice when they fail to yeild to an emergency vehicle with lights flashing.
