Why I Joined Fire/EMS
My family has been a big part in the fire service for over 40 years. And i had to keep the tradition going on. Plus the feeling you get when someone says thanks for the job we do, The way you feel when the tones drop. And theres not a better bunch of guys anywhere else but the firehouse.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
