Why I Joined Fire/EMS: I was always enamored by the fire dept. & trucks as a little kid all through childhood. After pursuing a corporate career in recent years, I have come to realize just how unfulfilling it really is. Training to be the best I can be physically & mentally brings me great joy & to think one day that it could actually be me helping others at the worst possible moment in their life makes me swell with pride.
