Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I always wanted to be a firefighter and after college, I knew a couple long time family friends that were in the fire service. So, I joined the same dept. they were with and been with the same department since....I love what I do and will keep doing it for as long as I can...
Why I Love Fire/EMS
Excitement, the Adrenalin rush, saving people's lives and of course, Driving the BIG RED TRUCKS with lights all over them...
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Training...it's a big issue that all personnel needs to get, including ME!!!! Then there's the issues of recuitment and retention of volunteers...

    Thanks for the reply, I was watching many videos of this year and looking for information. But ask your professional opinion, if you think about operating in an intervention? I like that we keep in touch and ask any information you need about my region Chau comrade a big hug
