Why I Joined Fire/EMS

It runs in the blood, Im the third generation in my family. My Grandfather was on Boston Fire, my Dad on North Providence Fire, and I'm on Lincoln Fire.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

When your going on a run, it's not for the excitement of rolling out of the house, but when someone calls you it's because thier having the worse day of thier life and maybe theres something I can do to possibly make it better.

Top Issues Facing Responders:

Communication, and the way how services are hell bent on doing thier way and thier way only.
