About Me:
I started EMT school shortly after i had my son. Then i went onto get my 240 card..which was awesome! Now i am about to work at childrens hospital and looking for a part time/fulltime job at a fire department while i am in school to get me PEMT

Why I Joined Fire/EMS
there is no better job in the world than to be a firefighter. And there is nothing else i would rather do. It is a part of me. Everything about being a firefighter and EMT and soon to be PEMT is everything in me.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
Everything!!! I love knowing that when someone is in trouble..or even not..when they see me walk in the room with that uniform on..they feel safe.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
The fact that the government takes advantage of people in this feild. They know that no matter what we are going to do it..volunteer or not. So in result we have more volunteers than anything. And even the firefighters who get paid dont get paid enough for what they do. But hey... we love what we do so we do it anyway.

    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.....
