Why I Joined Fire/EMS
Spent 9 years in the military helping people as a medic. Tried being a cop for a couple of years and decided I could better help people by being a firefighter.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
See top of chart on Maslow's Heiarchy of needs. (LOL)
Top Issues Facing Responders:
We are losing too many first responders while responding to calls and recruiting volunteers.
i am at the naval hospital for another couple months. my eaos is november of this year and right now there is nothing that interests me in staying in at all. i hope to have my firefighter one and two and my EMT done by then and only have to go through my paramedic and the rest of my rt classes after that.
