Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I am a 3rd generation firefighter, I loved being at the firehouse with my dad. I decided at a young age that I would become a firefighter. At that time it was not very well received but I did it anyway. At age 20 I started with my first volunteer department. I got married and moved away. I returned about 4 years later and joined another volunteer department. I was with them for a few years, then had to move again. After a divorce and raising 2 great kids I jumped on with my current department. Was with the EMS side for 8 years. I love it. The nicest thing is my kids are right there with me, making them 4th generation firefighters/EMT's
Why I Love Fire/EMS
we are(as a whole department) a family of people who are there to help those in need. We need more of this and less of the violence out there.

    Hi Theresa. Thanks and yes, some do nothing about their heritage. In my eyes its important. My son learns both German and English. He's three and he likes fire trucks and so much if he sees one he makes the siren thing. We preserve out family photos from Germany and the American side as well. Take care and thanks.
