Why I Joined Fire/EMS: I became a firefighter to help people in a time of need. Not really knowing a good way to help people in their time of distress and need, i thought becoming a fireman, and helping put out fires and tend to their medical needs, i could help in that area. Plus the excitement of hearing a siren and running down the road with lights, helped but not the main reason.
Why I Love Fire/EMS: helping others

Nice to know someone besides me sees it in Utah.
I run a nursing staffing agency in Salt Lake City only staff hospitals. History was in ER and ICU married to a unified Fire captain for 12 years then divorced.He had way too many girlfriends to have a wife,Know any nurses looking to make good money i can hook them up.

Is there a guy that grew up in Washington Terrace named Rick Strebel on the fire service still in Ogden?
If it is the same guy he was my first boyfriend when I was 12. I lived on 4328 South 225 East many years ago(too many) Rick was a few years older than me. and lived behind me . That was my grandparents house and I stayed there in the summer every year.

There is still a few life timers there. The last 3 to 4 yrs we have been updating our trucks and added a 6th station and one more in the planning. Jeff Williams came back as Cheif about 5 yrs ago, Jerry Iuchs, Rodney Iuchs, John Cook, Mike Carey, Fred Harding, Mike Harding, There is probably a few more that was on about the time you were that I forgot to mention. I run out of station 5, They have added on to stations 1 and 2 to accomidate more trucks and added day rooms with kitchen area and living room with tv and workout area for personnel.
