- Why I Joined Fire/EMS
- Always had a intrest since I was a little boy. The part where the firefighters save the day was cool. The Brotherhood is so impressive with the family like atmosphere knowing that someone always has your back and vise versa. I love giving a helping hand wether it be for the less fortunate, rendering aid when someone has a need or when the risk vs benifit swings in someone elses favor and I may have to give my all trying to save another.
- Why I Love Fire/EMS
- The self satisfaction of knowing that no matter what your turning a - incident into a + incident
- Top Issues Facing Responders:
- CHANGE! lets get out of the 70' mindset and move with technology and todays current status. Don't get me wrong traditions are great and sometimes fun but let's not let it comprimise our safety.
