Why I Joined Fire/EMS
Well I just wanted to ride the Big Red Truck and use all the cool tools. Really I wanted to be a Fireman since I was little.. I may be only a volunteer, but theres so much more to it than the community sees. Since I became a FF/EMT it's not been the same. I'll never quit doing what I love.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
I get to tear stuff up and knowing that I have helped in the time of need.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Lack of Responders!! There isn't enough people able to volunteer these days. For the volunteer department's money is a major problem. New guide lines are set every year, but there isn't any money given to help follow the rules.

    Sorry to get back to you so late, it has been a bit busy.

    When we had PMs done on our Amkus Jaws we had the below company do the work.. I have no idea if they are better or worse than others but I know our Jaws are working just like they should with no issues. We worked through Diamondback fire rescue – here’s their website:
