Why I Joined Fire/EMS
WHEN I WAS YOUNGER MY FATHER WAS A FIREMAN. HE USE TO TAKE US EVEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TO FIRES. I REMEMBER SITTING IN THE CAR AND THINKING "THATS WHAT I WANT TO DO." SO WHEN I TURNED 16 I DID JUST THAT 26 YEARS LATER STILL GOING IN. COLD AND COMING OUT HOT. THEN WHEN I WAS 18 I JOINED THE RESCUE SQUAD.. LOVE HELPING PEOPLE
Why I Love Fire/EMS
HELPING PEOPLE
Top Issues Facing Responders:
TOO MUCH TRAINING. START NO MORE EMT BASIC AND EMT 1 AND SO ONE.. EMT 1 GETS TO SCENE ABLE TO START IVS AND APPLY MONITOR SO EMT 2 GETS ON SCENE THINGS A DONE.. EVERY THREE YEARS TO RENEW TOO MUCH WITH THE WAY THINGS ARE IN THE WORLD.. AFTER 5 YEAR OF BEING A EMT RENEW EVERY 5 10 YEARS NO MORE . QUICK REFRESHERS THAT'S IT... TOOO MUCH TRAINING.. I KNOW IT'S FOR SAFETY,BUT PEOPLE CAN NOT DEVOTE THAT TIME ANY MORE..

    Hey Anne - Welcome to FFN. There are 2 Single Fire Fighter groups on here - one which stays more active. Lots of men and women to socialize with. So come join us there as well. Another great group to join is the Chief's Back Room Crew - where we stir up a lot of mischief. See you around the pages. Heather B
