Why I Joined Fire/EMS

It has always been a dream of mine to be a Firefighter. Even when I was a kid all I wanted was to grow up and be a hero. But it's not about being a hero. It's about serving my community and doing my best to ensure that my community is a safe place to live. To let the community members know that they can rely on myself and my station to respond fast and safely.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

It keeps me grounded to know that if it wasn't for me and my fellow voluteers, there wouldn't be any firefighters in my county to save people and put out fires.
