Why I Joined Fire/EMS: I first became an EMT in Texas as a high school student because I was an athletic trainer for my school. My love for emergency services grew from there

Hope you walked away with some good ideas. As trainers we always hope that the students walk away saying, "That was worth my time. I'm glad I took the class."

Hi Rob:

Loved your comments! I remember fighting fires over the fourth of July in Oregon in 2001. It was the first time I had been away from the usual family festivities. Life was about to take an unsual twist for me the coming week.--Karen Lee FitzPatrick

Hi Rob! Thanks for the welcome. I'm primarily law enforcement, but I've been involved with fire departments for a number of years. I see you're from Austin. I'm not too far from there. I like visiting occasionally, but nothing beats the country!! WBS
