- Why I Joined Fire/EMS
- My entire family is involved in the Fire Department and I joined as soon as I was old enough to become a junior firefighter. I have a lot of fun gaining experience and learning everything in all the classes I've taken so far - the fire department is a huge part of my life and I couldn't imagine not being involved.
- Why I Love Fire/EMS
- the adrenaline rush and a job well done.
- Top Issues Facing Responders:
- People who don't appreciate enough. It doesn't matter what race or sex you are, or whether you're volunteer or career. Everyone involved risks their asses to save someone else's, and should ALL be appreciated.
Your Firefighter Nation for Firefighting EMS and Rescue Box
I'm young, but I'm not exactly new to the fire service. My father and brother have been volunteer firefighters for years and I've learned a lot of what I know from them. Everything else is from the classes I've taken at the county training center...and the NYS Fire Academy. I'm still thinking about Paramedic/EMS classes too, but for right now I'm sticking with firefighting. I'm attending UAlbany for the spring semester, and hopefully I'll get to meet some of the career firefighters around here. Two of my best friends are other women in the department with me, but besides that, the rest of my friends aren't really interested in the fire service or hearing about it...so I'm always up for talking to anyone who is.
