- Why I Joined Fire/EMS
- I enjoy the dynamic challenge that every shift presents. It isn't the same dull, sit-at-a-desk kind of job that slowly kills people. It makes me think and challenge myself to become better every day.

- Politics and financial issues can be extremely difficult for agencies. Getting the average politician and tax payer to understand why we need up to date equipment and recommended minimum staffing are difficult, up hill battles.
