Why I Joined Fire/EMS

Its always been in my blood. I have been trying to help people for as long as I can remember. I became an EMT-B when I was a senior in high school, and then a firefighter during my freshman year in college. I just finished my Paramedic and finally have a life again.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

It is so much fun to help people, and to have lights and sirens
