Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I was a ginny pig for a rescue team at a coal mine. They used me as a victim during their trainings when I was 17 yrs old. Once they dropped me over a tower in a stokes basket I was hooked. When I turned 18 yrs old I joined a fire dept.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
The adrenaline rush when the tones go off and you don't know what you got til you get there.
