Why I Joined Fire/EMS
In the beginning as a hobby. The chief at the time recruited me to do tanker shuttles to free up seasoned firefighters for fireground operations. I then got nosy and interested. lol
Why I Love Fire/EMS
Laughing in private at the foolish things people do that costs them big big bucks. In addition, I am driven strangely by spite in this crazy world. People die and are injured on a daily basis and many times there is nothing that can be done to save the lives and property at stake. Yet, I feel Garth Brooks worded it best when he sang, "I do this so this world will know that it will not change me."
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Lacking participation, pushy older people trying to push for the old status quo. Other things I can add later. LOL

    No, he's too much like me...I don't think he'd ever be happy in any type of desk job...I just don't think that'll ever be his deal. And I'd have to disown him if he went into telemarketing, don't ya think? ; )
