Why I Joined Fire/EMS
It all started the night that the fire department and life squad came to help my father when he had a massive heart attack. He did not make it. I remember how helpless I felt just watching, and how I always wanted to help people but didn't know how. That night showed me how I could help people that need help. (June 6 1980 Just over a month of my sixteenth birthday)
Why I Love Fire/EMS
Helping People
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Underfunded rural departments that have fewer and fewer volunteers volunteering. So all you young guys and gals put away the vidio games get off you but and volunteer.

    In FL you can be a fulltime Vol. of Paid at the age of 18. or she can be an Explorer from 15-21. What ever she would like to do. I started as an explorer and it was just like vol. but you cant touch pt's. We have about 2 - 3 vol. districts here in Lee county. If she is intrested let me know.

    Hi there Jim,
    My name is David & I'm a FF/EMT for the Alva Fire & Rescue Service District E of Ft. Myers, FL. I saw one of your postings to my buddy Robert's page, inquiring about vol/explorer programs down here. Our district is one of those that is combination paid/vol.
    In a nutshell: there are, of course, some limitations on vol scope of practice (unless they are State/NREMT/FF certified), but we allow them to do as much as they are comfortable with.
    Any questions, contact me.
