Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I got into the fire service through the Explorer program that my department was part of, it was a split post between Police and Fire and the fire side intrigued me so when I turned 18 I joined.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

The most obvious answer is to help people but there is also the comeraderie that exists between those of us in the public safety sector.
