Why I Joined Fire/EMS

All of my family has been either a firefighter, EMS, or both. My Father, Grandfathers, Grandmother, and several Uncles were involved in a fire dept and/or an EMS dept. They are the reason I wanted to join and I love it!!!

Why I Love Fire/EMS

I love to serve and protect my community and to provide help to those who need it.
