Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I always wanted to be a firefighter, even took the civil service test several years ago, but back problems prevented me to fulfilling that dream, so.. I went to EMS.. I was always interested in the meidcal field. I cannot work due to back njury, so my company is strictly volunteer... plus I always wanted to be a part of a firehouse.. a brotherhood. a family... like i was used to in my hometown of Erie, PA.. Fairview Fire Department is one like I was used to...they are a family..... I was always at the firehouses there, and the guys welcomed me like I was one of them. I understand how they all work together, live together, goof off together, eat together and fight fires and save lives.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
helping people when i can
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Cuts....major cuts in the city of Erie, not enough money for volunteer companies, not enough personnel, not enough recruitment, budget issues...

I have a shepard, but this pic is not him. My is a 65 lb skinny pure black shepard. Doing the solo route with him training for search rescue. Really good dog. Also have a golden (12 yrs old), "wife's dog"....just getting old. The dog I mean, not the wife!

Thanks for the kind words, Mary. Your poetry is about love - or lost love? I have some of that also....

Unconditional Love



Unconditional love
is the greatest gift
anyone can give
You give it to your children,
and only to them
for however long you live

Your spouse, your parents,
your siblings, your friends
and all of the rest
Must continually prove themselves
worthy of love
they must pass the test

They’re deserving of your
love and support
without any conditions
If they love you
and respect you through
all of your transitions

For life is a constant
state of change
and of adjustment
You need them
to stand by you
and not pass judgement

You can count on your parents
to be by your side
for forever and a day
Likewise, for your children
you’ll be there
it’s always been that way


Precious Love Fades


Who can tell exactly when
Her precious love slips away
It doesn’t come crashing down
But fades slowly, day by day

The little things start piling up
‘Til they’re no longer small
Her heart no longer can be reached
It’s surrounded by a wall

A wall made of indifference
To protect her from the hurt
Of all the disappointments
That her heart could not avert

So as she seals her love inside
And keeps it out of sight
She begins to lose her enthusiasm
For that which brought her delight

She slowly slips into a depression
That consumes her very soul
No longer the eternal optimist
She now simply plays her roles

The familiar role of supportive mother
That of a loving wife
Trying not to let anyone see
The toll of her everyday strife

She begins to feel resentment
For the person she’s become
She embraces the gloom of the world
And winds up feeling numb

She feels she needs to escape
To get back to herself
She needs to reach out to someone
Who can offer her some help

He’s by far the biggest reason
She feels so hopeless now
He doesn’t seem to her, to be
The same man somehow

He doesn’t seem to want to try
To make her happy anymore
He seems to be more concerned
With what he can ignore

She needs to have a future goal
That she can look forward to
But thinks he just wants her home
With no dreams to pursue

She needs fresh motivation
To save herself from boredom
But she just goes on day to day
Dreaming of her freedom

He’s moving toward his dreams
With little concern for today
Sometimes he doesn’t seem to see
What she needs along the way

He thinks that his easy demeanor
Should put her at ease
Prevent her from demanding too much
In order to keep the peace

The things she used to love about him
Now seem to be a burden
So instead of seeing what he’s done
She dreams what might have been

He knows that he loves her completely
And believes she loves him too
So how in the world can he be so blind
To what’s making her so blue

Two people with so much to give
Seem to be drifting apart
She just wants to run away
He wants to hold her heart

The future is always uncertain
But I hope these two hold on
Realize that their two hearts together
Are stronger than only one
