Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I became a part of our emergency service to make a difference in my community. I watched the volunteer firefighters for a number of years, before I joined. I wish I would have joined much earlier. I now belong to what I consider, my close knit family of brother and sister firefighters, and am proud of it.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
I love everything about being a firefighter. I enjoy contributing to my community and helping those in need. I've also made many life-long friends at our fire company.
