Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I started out with the police department. I really thought that was something I wanted to do forever. The more I rode with the police officers, the more excited I found myself getting about the Fire/EMS runs. That's when I knew I needed to switch. Ever since then, that's just what I eat, sleep, and dream about.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

Pulling up on scene, and not knowing what will happen next!
