- Why I Joined Fire/EMS
- I never thought I would ever become a firefighter. When I was 29 I was asked to help found a new Fire Dept. I accepted. After that date, I was hooked! 11 years later I'm still going at it with no plans to stop. It is now 'In my blood'.
- Why I Love Fire/EMS

- Top Issues Facing Responders:
- In my experience one of the top issues facing responders is the newer cars with their multiple air bag systems and the electric cars.
