Because I felt need to help the public everyday. And it's something I have always wanted to do since I was a Kid

Top Issues Facing Responders:

I belive the top issue today is Safety and Training. I see it largely in the Volunteer Side that Training and Safety is over looked with rookies. I think more indepth training will help prevent LODD's and build a better fire service
