Why I Joined Fire/EMS
It's something that's just in your blood!
Why I Love Fire/EMS
that the public trusts us (for the most part) to solve problems that they can't!
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Is there enough space for this question...I think that the push for realistic training is gone which leads to undertrained, less prepared and even sometimes less motivated fireman (firefighters). It also annoys me that the traditions within the fire service as well as our individual houses have been lost due to various reasons. I guess those are my two biggest things, so I'll stop there.

    Has it been that long?! 15 years! Good god we are old.....It is absolutely great to hear from you. Didn't know you were living right in Elkridge! That's awesome! I am right around the corner from you in Halethorpe.

    Have you worked with a good friend of mine Michaela Lander over in Mo Co? She used to go by the name Michaela Blankfeld...
