Why I Joined Fire/EMS
My father was a policeman for 30 years, my uncle a Fire Chief and policeman, my cousin was a fireman, it was in our family's blood. So one day I said I would like to be a fireman and got asked then why don't you? I couldn't say why not, so that started the road. Since then became a medic and hazmat tech. Guess I just like the rush.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
The feeling of Brotherhood, the chance to help the community, and of course playing with FIRE! GRIN
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Low pay in our area causing people to leave for higher paying jobs as soon as they are trained
