Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I started when I was in highschool. I felt it was a calling and just could not stop once I started.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

it is a thrill knowing that you can control something that can kill you or saving a life. Knowledge that I would not trade for anything, obviously since I do it for free.
