Why I Joined Fire/EMS
There are alot of reasons that I joined the fire service. The main reasons being obviously because I have always had an urge to help people in need, maybe thats why I am also a medic in the Army National Guard. Also growing up I thought that the fire department would be a very fun place to work and to this day I have no complaints and I love going to work at the station.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
I know at the end of the day that I have given back to society
Top Issues Facing Responders:
I think that there alot of issues facing responders, on the top of the list woould be lack of funding and for the departments that rely on volunteers a lack of people wanting to volunteer. Also everything is constantly changing, everything from adding new subdivisions, new building materials, and all the new medications coming out now.
