Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I AM A SECOND GENERATION FIREFIGHTER, SO I GUESS YOU WOULD SAY I WAS BORN INTO IT, I HAVE BEEN AROUND IT ALL MY LIFE. AT THE HEIGHT OF MY FATHERS CAREER IN THE FIRE SERVICE HE WAS ASSISTANT CHIEF OF OUR TOWNS FIRE DEPARTMENT, CHIEF OF THE TOWNS POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND WE WERE STILL FARMING AT THE SAME TIME. AS A CHILD I WANTED NOTHING MORE THAN TO BE LIKE MY DAD, AND I LOVE HELPING OTHERS IN THEIR TIME OF NEED.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
FULLFILMENT IN KNOWING THAT YOU HAVE DONE ALL THAT YOU CAN TO HELP SOME ONE IN THEIR TIME OF NEED
Top Issues Facing Responders:
VOLUNTEERISM IS DOWN; TRAINING IS NOT KEEPING UP WITH TECHNOLOGY; AND SURVIVAL AND SAFETY

    thanks, it pays to have friends all over, who knows someone might be in another members area and need assistance, works both ways. take care and be proud to be a firefighter. remember we're the crazy ones, everyone else is running out of the building and we are running in.......

    what size gloves are you looking for, and what quantity? Our fit is usually a little snug so keep that in mind as you may want to trade up one size larger compared to more traditional bulky structural gloves.
