Why I Joined Fire/EMS
Well a few years ago, (when I was about eight) my mom had a car accident. Somehow she lived, Firemen, EMT, and people at the hospital had no idea how she lived. She broke her pelvic in 3 places, split her head open, and a few other "minor injurys. If it wasn't for Allison #1 and 2 firemen.. my mom would of died that night.

September 23rd 2008 my mom died of lung cancer, though if it wasn't for firemen, she would of been gone alot sooner. Therefore I just don't want anyone to end up in my situation. My dad ended up dying in 2007 from a car accident in Cali. Firemen didn't get there soon enough. I feel its my duty to get those people out of trouble so they can go home to there family's and loved ones.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
Im saving peoples lives / family members / loved ones.
