Why I Joined Fire/EMS
Family tradition. My father helped start Cunningham Volunteer Fire Dept. which I have been a member of for about 3 years. I am now also a career firefighter with Clarksville Fire Rescue, along with my younger brother.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
Everything from the relationships with my Brothers and Sisters within the fire dept to the cance to be the reason someone is still alive.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Lack of fires, with new fire resistant materials homes are less likely to catch on fire (which is a good thing) the only drawback staying trained and keeping all members of the fire service on the same page when a fire does occur.

    We had a good extracation last night on the memorial drive extention about 2:30 am. A guy went off the right shoulder then over corrected the rolled off the left side down a 15-20 ft bank. THe truck was sitting on the driver side. We used the rescue jacks and some wedges to crib it. then we just cut the a b and c post on the padenger side and flapped the roof down and got him out pretty easily. Is was Lenord's first so it was pretty cool.Have a good shift at the big house!!!

    hey bud, I would give you a holler but, I would not know how to get a hold of you. I went and hung out at station 2 with your bro, wednsday for little bit, we tryed to make a moutain dew glow stick myth, that we proved didn't work but got to be arround CFD engines and see what paid FF get to use. That was really cool of them to let me visit. If I knew somebody important enough I would join in a HEARTBEAT. but we will see how things go. Yea, man I try to get with you when I am up at 16 (alot) but you will find me there on thursday nights training with Wade K and his crew or my night is coming up on this saturday, but I usually am up there at least every other day. They only do 2 nights a month (not enough for me) so I go every minute I can, my wife is pretty cool about it, so. Alright bro I will cut you loose, stay low, stay safe, take care of that little princess, after all thats why we do it. JT 1671

    Thanks for the note. I just finished a reply on the CVFD page. I was taking meds for this cold and had no business fighting fire. I was in another world, but I think it may be helping. Thanks again.
