Why I Joined Fire/EMS

When i was 11 our house burnt. watching all the firefighters do ther job just done something to me. Since then i have always wanted to be able to help people in a time of need. We didnt have a bunch left but if it would not have been for the men that cared enough to leave there warm home and come out to us in a time of need we would not have had anything.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

I Love fire/ems because i am able to help those in need and have the means of training to make me do a better job.
