Why I Joined Fire/EMS
It all started when I was growing up....toy fire trucks everywhere. It wasn't until I graduated high school that I wanted to have a career that would make a difference in poeple's lives. I made a decision to become a military firefighter which brings me to now....I am a firefighter for Burton Fire District.
Why I Love Fire/EMS

You can't fix stupid. Not thinking about situations you face on scene.
