Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I honestly cannot say what drew me into the profession. I can remember as young as 12 saying I wanted to be a firefighter.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
it kicks assI love the constant challenge, how every call is different. When the tones go off, you never know what it is going to be. I like a job that keeps me physically active and one where I am constantly challenged. Each call tests me physically, emotionally or intellectually.

    Hi Bonnie! Thx for joining my friend's group. A short question - you're working for a private ambulance service.. do you mean a company? In Austria our Emergency medical services are operated by non-profit organisations (like the Red Cross) or special rescue departments of the bigger citys. Kind regards from Europe and stay safe, Bernd
