- Why I Joined Fire/EMS
- My entire family is involved in the Fire Department and I joined as soon as I was old enough to become a junior firefighter. I have a lot of fun gaining experience and learning everything in all the classes I've taken so far - the fire department is a huge part of my life and I couldn't imagine not being involved.
- Why I Love Fire/EMS
- the adrenaline rush and a job well done.
- Top Issues Facing Responders:
- People who don't appreciate enough. It doesn't matter what race or sex you are, or whether you're volunteer or career. Everyone involved risks their asses to save someone else's, and should ALL be appreciated.
