Why I Joined Fire/EMS
Because i enjoy helping others, and enjoy doing the job.....Im a 6 year old kid living his dream at 30 years of age...lol
Why I Love Fire/EMS
I get to play with the big truck......(kidding Of course its that im helping out my fellow citizens at they're time of grave need....)
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Training versus Experience...trained firefighters are good, trained and experienced firefighters are better....., and Sexism still in the fire service? why? There's lots of chica FF's ( no disrespect to my sisters) that can handle they're own and are good, why are there still some of us men worried about losing out to an female? Best firefighter for the job, doesn't matter race, creed, color, sex, religion, ethnic origin (Course we all know us Irishmen and women make the best firefighters LOL) if you can do the job and rock then do it! Nuff said....

    I agree about the snow. Thats cool that you know Kelly. Man we had some fun in Highschool Stange how things always come around like that. I would have never guess that we would end up in the same line of work.
