Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I became a member for the sense of reward you feel when you take an apparent bad situation and make it better, by saving someones life in an auto extracation or by saving someones house or belongings in a structure fire. Or simply just educating others so bad things do not happen to them. Its not about feeling like a hero, it about helping others when they are in need and need it most, and our moral obligation to assist.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
It is a feeling of accomplishment. Being able to be there when other need you most.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
scene safety/ accountability
need of more practical training
fitness
use if the Incident Management system for all calls

    Hey man, thanks for leaving me a comment my page was looking kinda empty. Yea the bullriding deal was probaly how I got into firefighting. I think I need a job that gives you that little bit of a rush. I do some construction stuff in the summer too, my dad is a contractor. Be safe.

    Loved the SCBA basketball video! We should incorporate that. If we did it at the courts by the pool we could even wear our boots! (How did the car fire go today??)
