Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I joined the Johnson Area FD in 1992 because I had my EMT license and nowhere to use it. I wanted to help people in a medical way, but did not want to work in the hospital area. Plus, I think fire is one of the most beautiful things on this earth; you know what I'm talking about 'when the fire dances'. I work now is an EMT doing mostly wheelchair and stretcher transfers. I really like making people feel good when they don't feel good.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
Because I understand when people get hurt they also get scared because they don't know what's happening to them. I love it because I know what is going on and I can explain to them and hopefully give them some peace.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
They aren't paid enought to do the hazardous jobs they do.
People - rubbernecking, getting in your way, getting in your way while going to a scene.

    I'm NOT offended and definitely understand what you are saying. So much terrible bull crap going on. I just got off from watching Ladder & Backdraft and got back on this site.Notice you have comments there also.Hope you aren't doing this by cellphone, will eat your time up.If you im (internet message by phone in commputer, it prints out publically also). Some people don't know this and cuss. Sometimes I get so angry I cuss. My town is so screwed up you have to cuss to let off steam to keep from kiling somebody!
    ..I don't fully understand the friend invite thing yet or exactly what it means. Perhaps, its to e-mail privately. Will let you know.
    ..Not to scare you, but I looked up a reletive's name and came across a death row inmate posing as a priest using it! (John Livingston).Just because someone goes to church doesn't mean they aren't Satanists and many investigators pose as gang members and killers and bad religions.
    ..Falling asleep again, so will close for now.
    ..May the God of whatever your chosen religion may be, protect and keep you safe.
