Why I Joined Fire/EMS: I became a part of emergency services because there will always be emergencies; therefore, there will always be a need for hero's like us! Oh & the adrenaline surge is a plus as well.

Top Issues Facing Responders:: Terrorists!! Ignornace of fire behavior & lack of skilled/trained fire/rescue personel.

At 10:33pm on November 20, 2007, Jeff said…: Let me know if you need any advice on departments in PWC. That's where I started and I still have friends in the system there.

At 9:49pm on November 15, 2007, Jeff said…: When you get to VA, go to Prince William Co to Volunteer. Fairfax doesn't have many vollies. And the stations that do, only get to ride if they paid staff lets them. Also, if you want to start this as a career, try the counties, and look at the feds. Walter Reed is always hiring, and that is a way to get your foot in the door. Stay long enough to get in and transfer to another base. Good luck
