Why I Joined Fire/EMS

Initially volunteered due to family members with a schedule that I thought I'd enjoy working. Wasn't sure if I'd enjoy the career or not, but it only took one month of volunteering before I was in the academy and beginning the best career move I could've ever made.

Why I Love Fire/EMS
