Why I Joined Fire/EMS
It all started the night that the fire department and life squad came to help my father when he had a massive heart attack. He did not make it. I remember how helpless I felt just watching, and how I always wanted to help people but didn't know how. That night showed me how I could help people that need help. (June 6 1980 Just over a month of my sixteenth birthday)
Why I Love Fire/EMS
Helping People
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Underfunded rural departments that have fewer and fewer volunteers volunteering. So all you young guys and gals put away the vidio games get off you but and volunteer.

    Hey Jim heard you stopped by the station on MON. Did Joey answer all your questions?? I guess he's starting to revamp the Vol program a bit; not sure to what extent, but let me know if you & your daughter decide anything. Take care & talk to you soon...

    Hi Jim- what's new?? Not much here. We did have a second structure fire (at the same address)...
    Apparently, the owner didn't like what the insurance adjuster had to say earlier in the day. It was pretty ridiculous; the neighbors were literally sitting in their lawn chairs across the street when we arrived.
    Anyways...
    Has your daughter turned in her app for vol at Alva?? We've had a couple of new vols putting in time but haven't seen her yet....
    Take care.
