Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I was in the U. S. Marines to get into firefighting while serving my country after the events on 9/11/2001. When my tour of duty was complete I went back to Miami Florida, where I am originally from. Florida has their own certification program, so I moved to Louisiana who accepts IFSAC.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

The people and the job.
