Why I Joined Fire/EMS
Family tradition. My father helped start Cunningham Volunteer Fire Dept. which I have been a member of for about 3 years. I am now also a career firefighter with Clarksville Fire Rescue, along with my younger brother.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
Everything from the relationships with my Brothers and Sisters within the fire dept to the cance to be the reason someone is still alive.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Lack of fires, with new fire resistant materials homes are less likely to catch on fire (which is a good thing) the only drawback staying trained and keeping all members of the fire service on the same page when a fire does occur.

Hey bud, yea I have been realy busy, sorry I have'nt got back with ya. Yea I was disapointed pretty bad. Man I flew threw the hydrant, hose carry, ladder, imprested the chief and R. Ellis with the venting hammer, no problems with the ladder carry, my DAMN boots kept getting hung up on the joist of the attic so I had to work extra hard lefting my feet higher, my regulator came undone when I entered the attic, and it kept hanging up. Sort of went down like a rock off a cliff. They made me stop to fix my reg. Then I hit the dummy hard and griped just like you said, but.... hit it so hard my helmet came loose and covered my face, I tried to thro it off but the harder I tried to thro it off the more R. Ellis tryed to keep it on (I know he was just trying to keep it out of my face, it was just hung up on my fat ass chin and would'nt come off or stay on. anyway, the dumbest move made was I removed my right hand to thro my helmet and the dummy slipped, I tryed to recover but I was petered out, could'nt breath (going to quit smoking), and just could not hold on. My dumb as droped it a good ways from the line. The f*%kin girl got it further than I did. But, I trained good on the mental, blew thru the test easy, did work out for the physical, its harder than it looks. But I know my mistakes now and will prepare better for it next year. Appreciate the help you and Brandon gave , sorry I let ya down. But if it was easy you would be working with girl scouts. Keep in touch. Oh if you know any body lookin' for a good bike I am puttin mine up for sale.. Asking 15k has arround 12K miles. we'll see ya arround. JT
