Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I always wanted to be a firefighter, even took the civil service test several years ago, but back problems prevented me to fulfilling that dream, so.. I went to EMS.. I was always interested in the meidcal field. I cannot work due to back njury, so my company is strictly volunteer... plus I always wanted to be a part of a firehouse.. a brotherhood. a family... like i was used to in my hometown of Erie, PA.. Fairview Fire Department is one like I was used to...they are a family..... I was always at the firehouses there, and the guys welcomed me like I was one of them. I understand how they all work together, live together, goof off together, eat together and fight fires and save lives.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

helping people when i can
