- About Me:
- Been happily married for almost 10 yrs now to my best friend. Volunteer with one of the county fire departments when I can. Normally, my husband is my driver. I use to driver semi-trucks cross country with my husband...you would not believe how many accidents we either came across after the fact of right after they happened. I helped out more on the road than I do at home.

- Why I Joined Fire/EMS
- I joined the volunteer departments as a way of giving back to my community. I have been active in this way of life since I was 13 yrs old.

Caught in a scary situation and said that it was time to back out. Don't get me wrong, fire still fasinates me, but just can't fight it. So, that is why I now do the EMS thing...still lets me be a part of my department and community. With that in mind, I am looking at making new friends in NM and all over the world on this site.
