Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I feel that there is no other feeling in the world quite like the feeling I get when I go on a call get to a fire and see that ugly devil raging with it's smoke and flames flying and get lucky enough to be able to pull out a small child that is still alive and know that I saved them, I made a difference.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

I grew up in it, my whole male family are in it
