Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I originally joined as an EMT only b/c of my interest in the medical field. I was totally deadset against taking any fire classes. Solely due to the reason that my Grandpa was a District Chief for the Cincinnati Fire Dept. and I was scared to death of fire and didnt want anything to do with it. I couldnt understand why anybody would ever want to intentionally want to go near fire. Then I started finding myself on fire scenes doing rehab and saw the look in everyones eyes doin what they were doin and I decided to take a volley class. I did and was hooked and then continued my fire cert. Thanks to all my co workers who were persistent in telling me I would love cause they were right. U all know who you are!!

Why I Love Fire/EMS

I am an adrenalin junky and I just love taking care of all different kinds. I never intended to become a FF but I absolutely loved it and wouldn't trade a minute of my experiences.
