Why I Joined Fire/EMS
Ever since I was in Kindergarten I had several fire trucks and toys all relating to the fire service. It is a dream I had since I was a child. I have followed that dream. To protect and serve all.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
When someone actually takes the time to say thank you. I ran on a call almost two years ago. The call was a Pediatric seizure. We responded. We did our job. A year later I was out in public and this lady approached me. She asked me if I ws a firefighter. I respond that I was. She asked me what department. After a moment or two of talking she asked if I responded on a specific call and gave me the run down. It was indeed the Mother of our little pediatric patient. She simply said, " Thank you. Thank you for helping my son." And walked off.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Firefighter safety. Suvivor benefits. Inattentive civillian drivers.

    I was firefighter in South Salt Lake City for 13 years. I am now doing Private Fire Protection to ensure my brothers are safe.

    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.

    Hey! How's it going. It's been awhile. I was in Utah the end of last month for about 10 days. My dad had mentioned that you went and talked to one of his classed. That's cool. Hope all is well. :)
