- Why I Joined Fire/EMS
- I first became an EMT to become a better 911 dispatcher. It was great. I grew up with my dad being a Battalion Chief in Los Angeles years ago, so I have been around it all my life.
My brother a bomb squad tech, deputy/paramedic. Mom in the LAPD so I guess its in the blood.
I was proud of what they did so I had to follow.... - Why I Love Fire/EMS
- There is always some sort of excitement and its fun being in the know before the public.
