Why I Joined Fire/EMS

First off for those of us that have been masked and tanked up there is no bigger rush than walking in a house,building,or etc., knowing that you will do whatever it takes to make sure that your crew and any survivors will live another day. that is why i joined the fire dept. to learn and help others.
