Why I Joined Fire/EMS

To make a difference in my community. People say that you have to be crazy to be a firefighter, well I wanted to prove to them that I am that crazy one. I enjoy what I do and enjoy being out there helping those that need it. Fortunately for me, I grew up around the Fire/EMS service. My dad was a volunteer for both a fire dept. & an ambulance service.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

Pride, Honor, Respect
