Why I Joined Fire/EMS

My father was the biggest influence in my life. He is now a near retired wild land firefighter. He has done a lot in his life and I have been hanging on his coattail most of mine. I couldn't see myself doing any other job in the world. This is what I love.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

I love that every day is something different.
