About Me:
I have been around the fire service since I was born, my Greatgrandpa. my Grandpa and my Dad were all volunteer firefighters but so far i have been the only one to actually go the next step and get paid for being a firefighter and i love it, I do miss structural firefighting but being involved with the military aircraft is a really unique experience and i enjoy it alot
I am a 4th generation firefighter so i guess you could easily say its in my blood, but i love every minute of it and Ive wanted to be a firefighter since i was very young
Why I Love Fire/EMS
I love everything about being a first responder, I enjoy being involved in both the Medical and Firefighting side of the operations
Top Issues Facing Responders:
The top Issues facing todays Fire/EMS services are (especially for volunteers) is lack of funding and valuable members who stay active
