Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I joined Fire/EMS because I looked up to the people around me in this field and I wanted to do something great with my life, learn something worthwhile, push my limits, and enjoy my job.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

I love Fire/EMS because there is always something that you can learn or improve on in your skills. Even if you have 20 years experience as a firefighter, the rookie may come in and say something that makes you think about a problem in a way that you have never thought of before.
