Why I Joined Fire/EMS
After leaving a City Council meeting one night a member of the FD was there to show off the new defibs the department had just purchased. I asked if they needed volunteers he said sure, I applied, it then turned to a paid position and I wouldn't trade a minute of it. Iloved the challenge of the runs, serving the community and meeting the friends and wonderful people I was blessed enough to meet.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Safety, respect both outside and inside departments, politics, drama.
