Why I Joined Fire/EMS

When I was a young boy my dad was a fireman for 15 yrs for the City of De Soto and in 1986 when I was 17 our house caught fire. As De Soto Rural Fire Dept extinguished the blaze I asked one of my best friends which was on the department at the time and still is, how I could join. The devistating fire was January 12, 1986, I joined March 3, 1986 and I am still here loving every minute of it.
