Why I Joined Fire/EMS
Originally? An apartment building behind my house was fully involved and one of the firefighters let me talk on the radio(I was around 6-7 years old). Watching them in action do what they do got me hooked. After leaving the service(Army 8 1/2 years) and returning back home I joined because after seeing what I saw in the Army and doing what I did, I just want to help people whenever I can!
Why I Love Fire/EMS
Lights, sirens, driving fast and not stopping for stop signs!! J/K!! Being a part of the team that helps my neighbors when they are in need
Top Issues Facing Responders:
POLITICS and immaturity!!!

    Thank You Chief Doug Phillips and the Ft. Johnson Fire Department Thank you Chief Phillips,
    Chief Doug Phillips and the Ft. Johnson Fire Department has donated to Eastlake Fire Department 8 complete S.C.B.A's spare tanks, parts and testing equipment. That kind of generosity is unparalleled except within the brotherhood of firefighters, two departments 840 miles apart, with the only common bond of our choice of volunteering out lives to the service of the Fire Department. We in Eastlake just wanted to let everyone on Firefighter nation know how much we appreciate you and your departments generosity and hospitality during our short stay in your fine town. Words cannot express the gratitude our department has for the Ft. Johnson Fire Department. The SCBA's we had were old and in a very frail state, our department did not have the funds and failed multiple times in our quest for a grant to cover the expense of purchasing refurbished SCBA's. The SCBA's we received from The Ft. Johnson Fire Department are in “like new” condition and every firefighter on Eastlake's department was excited to say the least, to check out our “new” equipment. And to see how much safer they are.
    We would like to let everyone in the World know how grateful we are to Chief Doug Phillips and the entire Ft. Johnson Fire Department


    Thank You,
    The Village of Eastlake
