All in all that's my career in a nut shell

Why I Joined Fire/EMS
Cullinary arts ...paramedic ...really not sure went to school to cook-dropped out and became a paramedic...I,m the only one in my family in this field.. In high school it was the furthest thing from my mind I wanted to simply be a good wife have a good job and be a mom..but I'm here now . I have a beautifull 2 year old girl and still single but I wouldn't change a thing . I figure God wanted me where I'm at and we are in the ride to gather so when the time comes maybe I'll find the right man that can understand the job I do and the hours I work .. I hope...
Why I Love Fire/EMS
Actually doing something worth while... that just might make a diffrence..
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Not getting paid what we our worth..Running out of people to do the job.

    Welcome to the Firefighter Nation. In addition to the relatively cool videos and fire scene photos, there are numerous groups, discussions and chat available.

    If you have never had the opportunity, take a minute to explore firefighterclosecalls.com and the secret list. This is a wonderful web site to explore and learn from the mistakes of others. It is also, sadly, a roll call of those whom have made the ultimate sacrifice, in their service to their communities.

    We have all joined the Public Safety Community for a variety of our personal reasons. Some of us are paid, while others volunteer. Many are firefighters, while others enjoy the EMS side of the house. We have active firefighters, line officers, chiefs, administrative officers, and a number of old timers who have seen most of the mistakes already made at least once. We have firefighters with many many years of experience, and others that, well, don’t. All are welcome here in The Nation. We welcome your input, just as we hope that you learn from the experiences of others.

    Personally, I have 31 years service to the local fire department. I have held most line officer positions, and some administrative as well. Now part of the Old Guard so to speak, I am less inclined to go charging into where others are trying to escape. Instead, I choose to monitor the fire scene closely, attempting to ensure the safety of all on the fire scene.

    I welcome you to the FFN. Here we all share one common goal.....

    Everyone Goes Home

    Hello. I have been to Flint along time ago. My uncle was station in the Coast Guard and I stayed the summer with him in Cheyboygan. This was back in 1977. Don't remember much about Flint but I liked going to Mackenaul Island. Thats probably spelled wrong but it was a neat place back then. Is it still the same? Place was too cold 4 me. In July the water was 54 degrees. Buurrrrrr. Well Just wanted to stop in and say hello. Later Richard

    Glad to see I was not the only one that dropped out of culinary school and went into the fire service. Still love to cook and glad that I am in a big house with 13 on duty on a shift.
