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
Why I Love Fire/EMS
I love to over come a challenge, can you think of a bigger challenge to beat than a burning building?
Top Issues Facing Responders:
50% of LOOD are due to health factors such as heart attacks, strokes, etc. How do we decrease this number, yet keep the experience these firefighters bring to the service?

    Yes. I will be working in the medical group. Really, that sucks. I thought that Winters was smaller than normal.

    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
