Why I Joined Fire/EMS

It looked like a lot of fun and a friend of mine in high school at the time was telling me about the JR. program at my local fire department. Been hooked ever since.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

Just fun, every call is different.

Top Issues Facing Responders:

Just the shows that are on tv where everyone lives and that is what the public expects. The Homeland Security issues, with interoperability and just how the world had changed since 9/11.
