Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I initially took the EMT class so I could expand my medical knowledge and know what to do in an emergency. My partner was a volunteer firefighter and I decided why waste this training? So I joined the local volunteer fire company and took advantage of every class I could!
Why I Love Fire/EMS
I quit in 1995 to pursue my education. The best part was helping people and the network of loyal friends I met!
Top Issues Facing Responders:
People calling the ambulance for non-emergent illnesses and injury (i.e. a hang nail )

I started in "87", and Butch was my Lt. I am sure you must have taken one or two sick folks of my hands back before we had our medics (and maybe even after that). And I've filled in at 34 a few times too, and even took a crash truck down to Ferndale Day:)
