- About Me:
- I'm 22, divorced and just moved back home with my mom... Now I'll be back on the first dept. I was ever on! I've been in EMS since I was 14, responding to calls from school. I've been a firefighter since I was 18, on the dept. since I was 16. I have a lot of fun doing what I do. I work full time as a receptionist for an environmental engineering firm. When people find out that I'm a firefighter, their first question is always, How could you carry me out of a building. Then I explain. The reason they ask is because I'm so small. Well, guess what, great things come in small packages!
