- Why I Joined Fire/EMS
- You don't just become a firefighter or EMT or First Responder. It is something you are born with. The ability to realize that "Courage is not the absence of fear but the realization there is something more important than fear." You just have this bug in you and you gotta roll.
- Why I Love Fire/EMS
- The way it feels to save a life or a house. No thanks needed just let me smile.
- Top Issues Facing Responders:
- I feel as if the biggest issue facing public service is that some of the upcoming responders don't realize the family of trust and reliability our fore-fathers built up over the years. I feel as if we as responders need to take more time to instill in the younger generations the real meaning of family and hope they pass it on to their young ones. Once you get a taste of the love shared between all you can't help but pass it on.
