Why I Joined Fire/EMS

BECAUSE MY UNCLE WAS THE PAST CHIEF ON ONE OF THE DEPARTMENTS DOWN IN SOUTH JERSEY AND MY AUNT WAS ON THE LADIES AUX. AND MY GOOD FRIEND IS THE ASST. CHIEF ON ONE OF THE DEPARTMENTS IN MY AREA. AND AFTER 9/11 HAPPENED I WANTED TO HELP PEOPLE!

Why I Love Fire/EMS

THE FEELING THAT I KNOW I AM GONNA MAKE A DIFFERNCE IN SOMEONES LIFE. NO MATTER HOW BIG OR SMALL IT MAYBE.
