Why I Joined Fire/EMS

My grandfather was a paid firefighter. He was my idol and mentor. I joined to continue his legacy of giving more than receiving in life.

I love being a firefighter because if I dont answer the call...who will?

Top Issues Facing Responders:

Training. Money...for everything. Retention of the old guard. Getting new people to answer the call.
