Why I Joined Fire/EMS

WELL I WAS RAISED WITH OUR FIRE DEPT. MY DAD JOINED WHEN IT WAS FIRST BIULT. THEY HAD ONE PUMPER AND A FEW TOOLS, NO BUILDINGS AND NO MEETING ROOM. THEY KEPT THE TRUCK IN A FARMERS SHED FOR A FEW YEARS. THEN THEY GOT A GRANT AND BUILT A BUILDING. THEY STARTED WITH 5 MEN AND NOW THERSE 15 MEN. OVER THE YEARS WE EXPANDED THE STATION AND GOT A NEW PUMPER. WE GAVE ARE OLD TRUCK TO THE FIRE DEPT. IN CAMERON PARISH WERE THE HURRICAN TOOK THERE STATION. TWO YEARS AGO I WAS ASKED TO JOIN THERE DEPT. I ACCEPTED. THAT YEAR WE GOT A SERVICE TRUCK FOR GRASS FIRES AND EMT. WE ALSO ADDED A NEW SULL AND KITCKEN\MEETING ROOM.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

IT'S A RUSH WHEN U GET THAT CALL TO HELP PEOPLE
