Why I Joined Fire/EMS
It was a childhood dream and a good friend of mine introduced the volunteer fire service to me. I got my start at the Ritchie Volunteer Fire Dept. CO # 37 in PG County MD. I am still currently a member.


Why I Love Fire/EMS
catchin fire and helping people
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Lack of Brotherhood and crappy unions.

Certain departements stuck in the past and need to change to comply with current trends with up to date training and equipment in the fire service. Mainly Save Your Own and Risk VS. Benefit......(Charleston 9 fire at the Sofa Superstore!!!)
