Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I joined as a vol at a young age. Been self employed as a contractor for 10 - 12 years. Last year had the oppertunity to take a full time position. So now at 34 years old I'm doing what I love.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

You may go in a whole bunch of houses and never recieve so much as a thank you or a job well done. But when a woman, man, or especially a child comes to you and says thank you, believe me its all worth it. Theres not another feeling like that in the world.
