Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I wanted to serve my community in a way that most don't. I also come from a short line of firefighters, so I guess it's in my blood. I just loved the comradely of the firefighters ever since my father took me to the fire courses he was teaching locally way back in the mid-90’s. And with him being a paid and volunteer fireman and being an SFI for over 15 years, it was natural for me to be a firefighter. Not to mention "Backdraft" and "Emergency!".
Why I Love Fire/EMS
