About Me:
My name is Zach. I'm a member of Mount Hermon Volunteer Fire & Rescue and Dry Fork Volunteer Fire Department. I've been with Mount Hermon since i first got into Fire/EMS and plan to stay a member as long as i'm in the service. I was a former member of 2 other local agencies, but through trial and error finally found that Dry Fork Fire Dept was where i wanted my 2nd membership to be. I love doing what i do and hope to make it a career very soon. Until then i'll continue to volunteer all the spare time i can.
I overheard a member of a neighboring department discussing how much he loved being a member of his agency one day while we were in English class my Jr year of high school. I went to the department in my area and joined on a whim just to do something productive with my spare time. The more i did, the more hooked on it i became to where now i'm at the point that i couldn't imagine my life without being in the Fire/EMS service.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
I can't really think of any one particular thing that makes me love it so much, but make no mistake it's my life.
Welcome to the Nation Zach! The world needs more firefighters to be as dedicated as you. As you'll see people say here. It's not a job if you enjoy what you do.
