Why I Joined Fire/EMS

It has always been apart of my life. My father has been a volly for 25years at North Adams fire, and has worked for Reading EMS for about 5 Years. So for me it was something I wanted to do I just had to wait to do it due to work and schooling.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

I just love the feeling of helping other people

Top Issues Facing Responders:

I feel the main issues facing the Fire/Ems in our arrea is lack of money to the departments and the fact that people are loosing there jobs and do not have INS to help pay there bill. so they either use the service and the Fire/EMS does not get paid or they take them selfs in.
