Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I have wanted to be in emergency services ever since I could remember, I started out at 16 as an explorer. I have since worked my way up to EMR, FIREFIGHTER CERTIFIED VOLUNTEER, NREMT-BASIC. I hope one day to become career 1001 certified.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
Good ol' mississippi boy, who loves to save lives, and help folks out!
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Being a volunteer, I would have to say more respect from career responders, and the public in general. I have heard many people say : "Oh, just a volunteer." Well who do you think the dispatch center tones out in the middle of the night in podunk mississippi?, 20 miles from the nearest town, and career dept? We even get charged higher insurance rates because "the vol. fire dept. five miles away is not a real dept!", or so the insurance guy says.

Hey Terry, I represent a 200 + million $ nutritional wellness company and I'm always looking for Firefighters interested in an additional source of income. If you'd like additional information please send me an email at wellness2390@aol.com
Thanks, Jan

Brad and JD are doing good. We have been real busy lately testing fire hydrants. We are not getting a new station but they are about to start renovations ( new bed hall).
