Why I Joined Fire/EMS
Im a patriot at heart and once I had left the Corps, I was lost. Years later, a guy recommended that I do a ride a long - I stayed for 24 hours. That very day, I filled out an application at my local Fire Department. The hook was set! 13 years later, I still love this job and feel very rewarded.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
The way we are, the things we do, the things we see. the best job in the world!
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Technology advancements to improve our work capabilities have come while the economy has hit the wall. How can we justify increased dollars for new computer aided gadgets (New World,EPCR,GIS,etc) while we are faced with huge budget deficits that threaten our jobs and benefits?
