Why I Joined Fire/EMS: I joined my local volunteer fire department because I really felt a need to help in the community.

Why I Love Fire/EMS: The feeling I get when I know we did the job right and really helped someone. I really love it when we are able to save the house or buisiness to determine the cause and use this for training purposes.
