I think it's great to be able to give back to the community in a positive way. Firefighting is always something that will be needed, and you can look back and know that because of your daily actions, you have made a diffrence in someones lifes.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
I just love to help people in need.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
the lack of brotherhood that the fire service use to carry, my grandpa is retired from the fire service, and he always tells me, he cant believe the way people attitudes can get them into so much trouble, he said it's not brotherly like what it use to be!!!

    Travis -
    Welcome to the great world and brotherhood of FireFighting. Stay safe and remember there is no such thing as a stupid question. Gather skills and knowledge and then pass it along to others. Mark Duell said it well with "... your spiritual walk." Stay Safe.
