- Why I Joined Fire/EMS
- I AM A SECOND GENERATION FIREFIGHTER, SO I GUESS YOU WOULD SAY I WAS BORN INTO IT, I HAVE BEEN AROUND IT ALL MY LIFE. AT THE HEIGHT OF MY FATHERS CAREER IN THE FIRE SERVICE HE WAS ASSISTANT CHIEF OF OUR TOWNS FIRE DEPARTMENT, CHIEF OF THE TOWNS POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND WE WERE STILL FARMING AT THE SAME TIME. AS A CHILD I WANTED NOTHING MORE THAN TO BE LIKE MY DAD, AND I LOVE HELPING OTHERS IN THEIR TIME OF NEED.

- Top Issues Facing Responders:
- VOLUNTEERISM IS DOWN; TRAINING IS NOT KEEPING UP WITH TECHNOLOGY; AND SURVIVAL AND SAFETY
