Why I Joined Fire/EMS
Grew up in a small town where everyone has to help with something. I really don't have a specific reason why I joined. Just seemed like the right thing to do. Second best decision I ever made.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
Comradery, family style atmosphere, helping others in need
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Personal safety is a top priority. We all should be thinking of making it home after every call.

    Welcome to the family where the language and reasoning importate the
    border is not in our work is to save lives regardless of color, religion or social position, much less. The important thing in our work does not need language to communicate, or borders to help.

    Slower than 8... but I'm getting used to it! Hopefully things will pick up when 17 opens. Are you studying for driver? Shorty wants to transfer to the airport, so there will be an opening at 17.

    No, I think Corey will stay at 4. So there should be an opening.
