Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I love a good rush and i love the gratitude we get from people when we're done doing our job. Ive grown up with my dad being a firefighter since i can remember. Its cool being able to go up to the station and hand out with him and go on runs with him. Its a real respectable job, and when i have kids, i want them to be as proud of me as i am of my dad.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
