Why I Joined Fire/EMS

Initially joined my local volunteer fire dept. to help people in our community. Found out quickly that I loved doing the job. Began obtaining training to better prepare for a career. Presently hold NC Firefighter II / NC EMT-P certifications. Also work as a paid firefighter/EMT-P now, but I still volunteer for my community.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

I enjoy helping people.
