About Me:
Joining my local fire department is one of the best choices I've ever made. It gives me a sense of pride saving and protecting people. Now that I moved to Baton Rouge, I'm a full time student, so being a volunteer firefighter doesn't quite fit in my schedule.
Day Job:
Full time student at LSU
Relationship Status:
In a Relationship
Why I Joined Fire/EMS
When I got my first speeding ticket, I was going to do community service hours at my local fire department. While there, a call came in for a vehicle wreck. The fire chief asks if I wanted to tag along. Of course I said yes. Ever since then, I've been hooked on firefighting.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
the sense of pride to know that I make a difference in the lives of people.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
the disrespect towards the departments. Everybody expects way too much from us. They complain when we don't make it there fast enough, but they don't think twice when they fail to yeild to an emergency vehicle with lights flashing.
