Why I Joined Fire/EMS
In 1992, I was driving by Station #5 in my hometown of Billings, Montana. That's when I realized it -- the 'awe' of the fire engine ended with elementary school. But, it had not for me. That was the beginning of my career in public safety. A true passion. Something I can't describe.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
Lights & Sirens coupled with holding the hand if the sick and injured -- A perfect marriage
