Why I Joined Fire/EMS
Great way to help others, especially your own neighbors! Rural communities need volunteer services; we need to help each other.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
One of the only jobs where you are appreciated!
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Too busy earning a living to respond to every call. Gas prices make it hard to volunteer when you serve a large area.
