Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I first joined the volunteer department with my husband to fill in for our community. I never imagined that it would effect me the way that it did. After a few months, I knew I had found my passion. As a female, I have had to prove myself to be up to the job just as a male would be, and sometimes found that I was scrutinized a little harder because of it. I tried for 1 & 1/2 years to get on with the larger department in the area and finally got the spot. Since then, I have dedicated my time and efforts into improving myself, the department, and the community to the best of my ability.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

I love the excitement of the action, but I mostly get the greatest reward at seeing the expression of gratitude and appreciation when I am looked upon by members of the community.
