- Why I Joined Fire/EMS
- My freshman year of college I began to feel that my major at the time, while being something I still enjoyed, wasn't as fulfilling as it used to be, and wasn't going to get me by after school. I wanted to do something I could take pride in. I thought about being a firefighter, applied to a female firefighting camp as a test of myself, and fell in love with the work.
- Why I Love Fire/EMS
- There's no better environment, no work more fulfilling.
