Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I grew up around Law Enofrcement all my life. My family wasn't in LE but I had friends that were. I heard some of the stories my friends talked about and I became interested in LE. I became interested in Fire Fighting was back in 2000, when I was driving home from work and a huge motorhome blew out a tire and struck a car, on the passenger side. We pulled over and assisted in the accident. I spoke with a firefighter that was a volunteer and he explained what he did and it struck a huge interest. I have only been in the fire service for 3 yrs now and I am looking at giving up 15 yrs of LE to pursue a career in Fire Fighting.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
I get to help and meet new people
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Money. The smaller volunteer dept's don't have any money for any training or descent equipment. Money affects all departments big or small, but small depts beg, borrow or steal just to get by.
hi, we have alot in common, I went to school to become a police officer, and my dad was in the military my entire life. I recently became interested in the fire service about 9 months ago. I just finished my FF1 and looking forward to taking EMT1 next. I also live in Northpole. I volunteer at Northpole fire dept. I am on A shift
look forward to hear from you
Hey i saw where you are looking for a Maltese Cross for a tattoo. Another real good place is strike the box.com They have a whole lot of tattoos to check out.
It doesn't get real cold here...can get down to the 20's for highs in the winter but that is not the norm. As far as the red x's, you are the only one who see's those...if you click on view page as others see it then you would not see the x's
