- I have been an EMT for about 5 years now and have worked in both emergency and non-emergency medical fields, as well as dispatch. I love my job as an EMT and I am currently testing for a few local fire depts. My goal is to get hired with OCFA and get my medic cert.

- Why I Love Fire/EMS
- The satisfaction of knowing that I have brought some comfort to my patients and/or their families in their time of crisis.
- Top Issues Facing Responders:
- For me its getting around obstacles as a female in EMS and testing for fire. I dont want any special treatment just because of the fact that I'm a girl. I think females should be held to the same standards as the guys, and not "given a break"...if you cant do the job, dont.

If you have never had the opportunity, take a minute to explore firefighterclosecalls.com and the secret list. This is a wonderful web site to explore and learn from the mistakes of others. It is also, sadly, a roll call of those whom have made the ultimate sacrifice, in their service to their communities.
We have all joined the Public Safety Community for a variety of our personal reasons. Some of us are paid, while others volunteer. Many are firefighters, while others enjoy the EMS side of the house. We have active firefighters, line officers, chiefs, administrative officers, and a number of old timers who have seen most of the mistakes already made at least once. We have firefighters with many many years of experience, and others that, well, don’t. All are welcome here in The Nation. We welcome your input, just as we hope that you learn from the experiences of others.
Personally, I have 31 years service to the local fire department. I have held most line officer positions, and some administrative as well. Now part of the Old Guard so to speak, I am less inclined to go charging into where others are trying to escape. Instead, I choose to monitor the fire scene closely, attempting to ensure the safety of all on the fire scene.
I welcome you to the FFN. Here we all share one common goal.....
Everyone Goes Home
Have A Super Week as well...
