Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I could say the adreniline rush but..nah ..not where I work , I gotta say helping people . The job gives me a sense of satisfaction and self-worth . Knowing for the most part its different from day to day. Also when I hear people talking about their jobs and saying how much they hate it and don't look forward to going to work ..... I can honestly say I love my job and I really do look forward to going in next shift .
Why I Love Fire/EMS
The feeling of self worth and satisfaction.... plus only working 2 dats a week.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Training , physical fitness , lack of commerodery ( think I spelled that wrong ).

    Looks like you really stirred up a hornets nest with your forum. :-) How was the shift? quiet I hope. See you thursday.
  • Allen Wahlstrom

    Hey brother...my apologies for the hornets nest issues. James said a few things to me last night that I should have ignored. However what I said was absolutley justified in response, and for the record I never threatened him.
    Be safe!
