Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I began volunteering to give back to my community. Along the way, I got hooked the moment I rode backwards on my first fire call as a tailboard. " I remember feeling like a kid, heart pounding and saying wee as we rounded the corner. The cue screaming, siren blaring. I still get excited when I get a chance to ride or drive an Engine.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

I love my brothers and sisters, their dedication and sacrifice. The passion and desire to place your life on the line.
