Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I have always been intersted in the fire service ever since i was a little kid.. my father was a firefighter and i always wanted to follow in his footsteps so when i was old enough i joined up and i have been in love with it ever since..

Why I Love Fire/EMS

I love the fact that when people are in trouble I am one of the ones that are called to help and it brings joy to my heart to help the citizens of the city.

Top Issues Facing Responders:

In the fire service and ems agencies nobody wants to join due to the fact that if it is a volunteer department they won't get paid so they think that it is pointless to join which leads to the volunteer numbers decreasing rapidly.
