Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I became a firefighter to help people in a time of need. Not really knowing a good way to help people in their time of distress and need, i thought becoming a fireman, and helping put out fires and tend to their medical needs, i could help in that area. Plus the excitement of hearing a siren and running down the road with lights, helped but not the main reason.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
helping others
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Training needs, salaries and health care for fire service personnel

    Utah is my favorite place to ski. I just created a new group here on FFN, SnowSkiingFirefighters and thought you might be interested in joining. Would love to have you.
