Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I started out as an EMT because I wanted to help people and the medical field is one I have always wanted to be involved in. I got into fire fighting a couple of years after that and now I just can't get away from it. I love fighting fires and all the other stuff that goes along with it.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
being able to help people in their worst moments
Top Issues Facing Responders:
I think one of the major issues facing the service is the lack of support we get from the public. I read about some fire fighters who were hurt recently in an article online. People were commenting "not the hero thing again" and I couldn't believe the lack of respect we get from the people we are there to help.

    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
