Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I love helping people and this is an honorable way to show you care about your community, plus I have made some awesome friends!

Why I Love Fire/EMS

my passion to save someones life but with that being said, you cant save them all.

Top Issues Facing Responders:

Not enough funds to get gear needed and some lack of training. Sometimes, not enough people to respond to a call because almost everyone has other jobs, so they aren't available for calls.
