Why I Joined Fire/EMS
My Father was seriously injured in a MVA. The local volunteer firemen and 1st Responders saved his life. I decided to give back to my community because they came to help a stranger, me!
Why I Love Fire/EMS
Returning the favor to those that came to my family
Top Issues Facing Responders:
training and the state/government mandates on training and reporting thereof are unrealistic for volunteers. I think the availability, scheduling, and reporting should be more "user-friendly" and should be geared towards firefighters obtaining real-life experience and practical training instead of pushing volunteers to get a certificate. Safety first, we save lives ( our own first) then property.
