Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I originally applied to the 911 center, because I thought I would eventually apply to be a police officer, but by the time I was 21 yoa I realized I was loving being a dispatcher and making the same money not to be shot at or spit on, so I stayed.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Safety. Too much emphasis placed on policy vs common sense. Constantly changing policies leave personnel wondering if they have something right and/or second guessing themselves.
