Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I became part of my local volunteer program when I was a teenager back home, so that I could do more for our small town. After high school I joined the Marine Corps where I continued my emergency services career as an Aircraft Rescue firefighter.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

The feeling of accomplishment for my accomplishments and those I have helped over the years

Top Issues Facing Responders:

COMPLACIENCY - Its just a fire and its the same all the time. Its just a medical call what will happen. The aircraft will never crash in our area it always happens on the runway. Until April 22 that last statement was true but see I told everyone it would happen one day
