Why I Joined Fire/EMS: It's one more way that I can be of service to my community and help people. There will always be emergencies, and there needs to be enough trained people to assist in any type of emergency. Someone has to step up and do the job and set an example to this generation of kids raised on computers, X-box, PS3, cell phones, twitter, etc.....
I hope I can provide some of that inspiration for kids to step up, to unplug from the computer or video game, and get plugged into a fantastic way to help their community and beyond.
Why I Love Fire/EMS: Because of the people you meet and the people you work with and why you do this job....
