Why I Joined Fire/EMS

It was actually by an accident. My neighbors have been a part of the vol. fire dept. for years and they had a new class coming in so they called me up and asked if I would like to try it. So, I agreed and went to my first training session. We put full turnouts with SCBA on and crawled through a dark house to find a dummy victim...after that I was addicted and I couldn't get enough. :-)

Why I Love Fire/EMS

the adrenaline rush...that feeling when you're doing something so dangerous that you might not make it home.

  Yes their is
  You have to be a member of a fire dept. You have to have a letter from your chief on letter head paper saying its ok to ride. Then you have to call HQ to pick a day to ride. U can ride on a sqaud a ladder or a pumper as long and as many times as u like as long as u r a firefighter and bring that letter. U need to bring food or money and sleeping stuff u ride for 24 hrs. If u want to ride on a medic unit it takes a little bit more stuff and time .
