Why I Joined Fire/EMS

Don't really know, guess its because my grandfather didn't want me to become a cop. Seeing that he was and hated how things were becoming 15 years ago he talked me out of it.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

being off 2 out of every 3 days to spend with my family and to grow my business.
