Why I Joined Fire/EMS

i feel happiest doing this job going it goes against logic, i enjoy being that idiot thats running towards the fire when peole are trying to use the exit to get out and your in there way feel happiest when im helping peole who are unable to help themselves not many people have time to sacrifice tp help someone i feel i have no time to sacrifice not helping others it just feels like home wether its three stories up or on the ground it makes me happy

Why I Love Fire/EMS

just the adrenaline buzz and how people are proud of me when i help them through bad times

Top Issues Facing Responders:

lack of full time units and too much retained services
