- Why I Joined Fire/EMS
- It started out as a way to get to becoming a medical examiner. That was until I actually got out in the field and then became a firefighter. I changed my mind about becoming a medical examiner and have decided to stick with a firefighting/paramedic career. I absolutely love it!!
- Why I Love Fire/EMS
- there is no other job like it in the world. It takes a special breed of person to run into a burning building while others are running out, or to transport someone that is on the verge of death and know that you can be the difference.
- Top Issues Facing Responders:
- safety, lack of funds (thank you president bush), and Ron Paul, a 2008 presidential candidate that wants to cut the number of police and fire depts. and personnel in half. TSK, TSK Mr. paul.
