Why I Joined Fire/EMS

It all started when I began dating my ex-husband. I would always complain about how much time he would spend at the firehouse. So, in an effort to spend more time with him, I joined as an auxilary member. Just a few short months later, I was awestruck by this great profession and said I just had to go full out into this. And so it began. He created a monster!!

Why I Love Fire/EMS

everyday on the job is differnet from the last. You never know what to expect and have to be prepared for anything.
