Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I joined the fire service right around 9/11 as a volunteer. I quickly figured out that this is what I wanted to do for a career, or most importantly it was my calling. I have a true desire to help people, not to wear a t-shirt or a tattoo for recognition.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
There is nothing better!
