Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I decided to become part of my local volunteer fire department because I always wanted to be able to help people. My grandfather's grass field caught on fire, and that is what showed me what I could do to help people. In turn being on the fire department helpled me decide what I wanted to go to school for.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

knowing that I did my best to help out another person in any way possible..

Top Issues Facing Responders:

people that feel that our jobs are not that important. It seems that too many people think that the fire department will not help them and do not call 911. Or they just don't support their local fire departments.
