Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I first became an EMT to become a better 911 dispatcher. It was great. I grew up with my dad being a Battalion Chief in Los Angeles years ago, so I have been around it all my life.
My brother a bomb squad tech, deputy/paramedic. Mom in the LAPD so I guess its in the blood.
I was proud of what they did so I had to follow....

Why I Love Fire/EMS

There is always some sort of excitement and its fun being in the know before the public.
