About Me:

Divorced with four kids, not crazy just fertile...lol. They are 18, 13, 13 AND 11. At least two of them have the bug and love being at the station and wanting to be in fire/ems when they're older. It's kind of neat thinking I may have started the first generation to a long line of volunteering:-)

Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I participated in a FF1 class as a reporter to write and take pictures of the experience for a levy that was on the line...needless to say, the levy passed and I was stuck:-) Graduated from paramedic school in '05.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

Challenges...I love being the person that makes a difference in someone's difficult time...

Top Issues Facing Responders:

Recruitment and retention in the part time paid/PPC department. How much longer can these departments hold on? Many in my area refer to themselves as full time, part timers, and as the numbers of volunteers dwindle and the training requirements climb, I don't see how some departments will survive...
