Why I Joined Fire/EMS
It took me six years to really find the words to explain why I am a firefighter. In one call I found the emotions more then the words to explain it. I responded to someone in need of help after an MVI, I helped give the best medical care possible and got the patient to the hospital with their condition improving. I came home with the feeling of pride in knowing that I did it all because I enjoy helping people in this way. All of these moments and feelings from this one call summarized why I am a firefighter.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
The excitement of going on calls and helping people.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Politics, reliability issues, and in BC separate dispatches for different emergency agencies; there is always miscommunication or information missing when information is passed from one agency to another.
