Why I Joined Fire/EMS

Because I like to help people in their time of need and to see the results of my work when someone that I have picked is so sick and a few days later they walk out of the hospital feel much better. It was definitely not for the glory but for the pride and dignity.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

Pride-Dignity and the feeling of being needed

Top Issues Facing Responders:
