Why I Joined Fire/EMS
Well like most kids, I grew up wanting to be a Firefighter. Probably for the same reasons, Big red trucks, flashing lights and sirens. The main difference that separates me from the rest however is because of my HERO. My Grandfather, Sherman D. Rockwell, started my Fire Dept in 1964 and was the original Chief of the Dept and held the position for a total of about 32 yrs. Growing up with Pop as the Chief has made me a better person and has definitely trained my heart to attempt to follow in this Great mans footsteps. Now I doubt I will ever get to the years as Chief like Pop has, but I think the past 6 isn't too bad! Im sure that I am not the only person who has had that special someone influence them in the Fire Service and for those that have you understand Im sure.
