About Me:: I joind the fire service late in 2001. No it was not because of 9-11. I joind because of a friend of mine telling me that I should come out and check it out. I went by the station one day when they were having recuit training to check things out and the next thing I knew I was being fitted for turn out gear. The rest is history. Actually I went home that night and really thought it over and remembered a very dear loved one who had died just a few years earlier and knew that where she lived there was no emergency responders for her area and as a result of that she did not get the proper medical attention she needed for her injuries. I thought to myself that I can't sit back and watch someone else suffer the same fate as my friend. I had to do something. I did do something I went back and finished up the recuit class and expanded my knowledge. First I went through a basic first respondeer course and got my feet wet in the medical side of emergency services. Just a short two years latter I joind my current department and decided to go through an EMT-B course. For the past two and a half years I have devoted my life more to emergency medicne than fire fighting and thankfully I have exceeld at that.
Ok that's it in a nut shell about how I came to be involved in the emergency services.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS: Just to try and help others in their most despate hour. Hopefuly I can save someone else from suffering the same fate that a dear friend of mine did.
