Why I Joined Fire/EMS

Enjoyed volunteering my time for different things, but when I came across a PR event for the search and rescue K9 unit, I knew it was perfect for me. I hiked, backpacked and camped by myself and my dogs. Here was the opportunity for me to do what I loved, with people that did the same and there was a purpose as well.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

The ultimate purpose of saving lives or bringing closure. The bond between my K9 partner and the bond within the team(s).
