Why I Joined Fire/EMS: I dont really have a family from the fire service, I really just was self interested. I went through pre-basic with an open mind and got alot of help from my friends and officers. I got hooked on it, took my first truck ride on my 16th birthday. Was the best present I got. Ill never forget it. Now, I couldnt see myself doing anything else with my time. The feeling that you are making a difference, big or small, is the best feeling in the world. I love being able to help someone, and save lives.

Havent been able to get up to the firehouse since last month, but some how im still involved in its drama. Why is it, that there is ALWAYS that one new probie that thinks he is CHRIST REINCARNATED and he can do whatever he wants? Start whatever he wants? With whomever he wants? And the officers think he is all high and holy, cause most of them tend to his every need! LET ME TELL YOU. The firehouse IS NOT a social event like your damn high school. Grow up and get real. You join the firehouse to… Continue

Well North East had a pretty good MVA today, at rt.40 and 273 intersection. Took one pt. to Christiana for trauma and one to Union with minor injuries.

We also got called to assist Singerly Fire Co. in their working house fire but I had to leave for work. So dunno how that went. I beleive that is all…

2. How long have you been working at that department?

3. Did the department you currently work for accept you with open arms being that your a woman?

4. In any time in your career has any male firefighter challenged your abilities as a woman firefighter?

5. Were you ever nervous knowning you are a woman going into a "male" dominate career?

6. When going through the application process did you ever get turned down for being a woman?

7. Have you ever had someone tell you that you wouldn't make it, because you are a woman? (Anyone you worked with or someone you knew personally or just came across.)

8. Is there anything specific that motivated you the most to become a firefighter?

9. Tell me one thing you find rewarding about being a firefighter?

I have a big favor to ask.. Are u a active firefighter in your state?? If so I have a report to do for my fire class about women in fire. I know you are a lol younger, but still it would be great for my project. I have to do an oral report, and I want to interview a female fighter. I have some question already generated. If you could help me I would greatly appreciated. Hope your having a great week also be safe, and take care.

At 10:37pm on January 28, 2008, Christopher Smith said…: Hi Holly,
Glad to see that you are keeping things safe up there in N.E.! I used to live in the Earleville area, Hacks Point to be exact, although I was not a member of the FD up there. Since I have become a part of the FD here in Oxford, I can say that I truly have another family as well! I'm glad to have become a part of the brother/sisterhood of the FD and I would like to have you as a friend here on FFN.
