Why I Joined Fire/EMS

The reason I joined the FIRE / EMS profession was that when I was 3 yrs old I lost my house to an electrical fire and in that fire almost lost my older brother and mother. I am in the Fire / EMS community because I know what it is like to be in need of help, and later in life I decided I wanted to be a part, and help others as my family was helped in the past.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

Helping others makes me feel good.
