Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I'm a 3rd generation firefighter. I've had the heart of a firefighter since i was 3 years old when my grandfather (life member), and my father (medically retired) told me stories of their times on the dept.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

Helping someone in their time of need is the best feeling in the world, and I don't expect anything back for doing it.

Top Issues Facing Responders:

There's a lot of things facing responders today, the threat of terrist attacks, weapons of mass destruction, and now a bigger threat of natural disasters are just a few out of god knows how many we must face.
