Why I Joined Fire/EMS

Finally living my childhood dream....I have so much respect for fireman..I have always wanted to do this and I felt it was time..I am enjoying myself so much..Thanks to all the Guys at station 45 for helping me learn.
I had a few heroes growing up and they all seem to be Fireman and policeman.. A family friend Joe Kelly gave me his badge at age 5 and I was hooked and destined to be doing this.. I finally got tired of saying I wish and I now say I am.. And I love it..

Why I Love Fire/EMS

I love helping my community, I always wanted to be a fireman since I was 5 years old. I used to go to all the Fire stations looking to see if they had a pole. They are my Heroes.
