Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I joined the fire service as an outlet to give back to my community and to be a helping hand to the citizens of my community. I had joined on as a volunteer. I was fortunate enough to land a full-time position with the City of Dayton Fire Department.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

Brotherhood and comradery. Being a helping had to those in need.
