Why I Joined Fire/EMS
Because I felt like a stupid idiot in 1987 when I came across a head-on collision and couldn't do anything for the little girl who had an obvious broken tib-fib. Now I'm a Flight Nurse in Denver.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
Getting to drive a really cool truck, or flying around Colorado in an A-Star.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Getting Congress to pull their heads out of their crevices and fund prehospital/fire programs the way they should be.
