Why I Joined Fire/EMS

There is nothing more rewarding then knowing you've made a difference in someone's life. Be it holding their hand or pumping on their chest fighting to revive them... Just listening makes a world of difference. Not all our calls are "medical" emergencies. We see people on the worst day of there lives and they ask us to come into their homes and help them. What a special opportunity to go the the extra mile... take a few minutes... put yourself in their shoes... share a little hope....and make a difference...

Why I Love Fire/EMS

I love helping people, the brotherhood of the fire service

Top Issues Facing Responders:

Lack of compassion and empathy. The disease of "me"...
