Why I Joined Fire/EMS
It's in my blood. My father was a volunteer, my 2 other brothers and myself started out as volunteers. My older brother and I both went professional and I'll will retire next year will 37 years on the job.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Too many preventable LODD. Not enough fire experience for our officers. Lightweight construction and firefighters not reading their situation correctly. Another 9-11 attack
