Why I Joined Fire/EMS

When I was a kid I loved the show Emergency, and still do. I joined as a junior firefighter, and worked my way through the ranks. I joined mainly because I feel the need to help people during life changing events in there lives.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

Helping where it's needed most, and the brotherhood.
