About Me:
I consider myself very new to the Volunteer Fire Dept. scene even though I have officially been with the dept. a little over two years, I have been going to all meetings for over two and half years. My job is in a different town so I don't get to make a lot of calls and when I am home, if it is a night call, I can't go because we have a son that I can't leave in the middle of the night. I love firefighting, but I love my children, so I have to make a call there which will I do. Luckily, my husband goes to the night calls.
I joined my community volunteer unit because of my husband and because I wanted to help the people around me and be a part of something bigger than myself.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
I get to help my community and not to mention I get to play with water and hoses and ride in the truck.....
Hi from Santa Barbara! Cool to hear that both you and your husband serve your community. Please stay safe and be careful. If I can help you and your husband out with anything, don't hesitate to drop me a line.
