Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I wanted to do something to help my community and also to have something to do in my free time.I think its fun and challenging sometimes.I kind of like the adrenaline I guess.I'm always beside my trusty scanner waiting for the tones to drop.I'm usually hard to wake up but every time my scanner goes off no matter what time in the morning it may be I always hear it and jump outta bed and take off.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
I pretty much covered that in the above paragraph.I wanted to do something productive in my spare time.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Well having a fast response time is very important.Its also good to make sure you have everything you need such as neck braces,backboards,and make sure the trucks are full of water.A few months ago someone from another dept forgot to fill their truck up with water and went on a house fire like that.Needless to say they got in trouble.
