Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I knew when I was little that I wanted to be in a job that did not require me to sit behind a desk. So when I got into Fire & EMS as a volunteer in my teen's I got hooked and I decided that this was where my heart lay true and it is where I decided to stay.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

Being there for someone else in their time of need when no one else will.
