Why I Joined Fire/EMS

Just something i grew into loving as growing up had the fascination to sit in front of fire houses waiting for them to respond on calls, talking with local firefighters and becoming friends with most if not all of them and still love the job just miss it as i havent done it in say 5yrs or so.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

Friends and the thought of doing things that most wouldnt even though at times its a thankless job even as volunteers

Top Issues Facing Responders:

None other than an unfortunate lay off of some friends in my hometown and state as well, people dont realize how important it is to be covered fully by fellow brothers and sisters who take pride in serving their community. I know i enjoyed serving mine, i loved it and would do it until the day i die, guess its in my blood
