Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I joined the Fire and EMS service in order to be the man that my father has become; a man that responds whenever needed, a man that gives hours and days of his life for the good of the people, a man that puts his life on the line in order to save those that need it. I also joined for myself; to achieve a goal that I have had since I was old enough to climb on the trucks. I joined the fire service as much for myself so that I can fill an empty place in my life as much as to help others.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

of the achievement you feel when you help someone.
