Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I am a third generation firefighter and have been around the fire service my entire life. I believe that one doesn't chose to be a firefighter it chooses you. We are the ones that change lives and that every little kid at some point in their lives wants to be just like us and every grown up wishes they were us. One of the things that scares me the most is the day that they tell me I can no longer be a firefighter!
Why I Love Fire/EMS
The fire service truley is America's first responders and we have the most impact on every life that we come into contact with. This is a gift that not everyone will ever get to experience.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Health and Safety
LODD
Brotherhood
