Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I got started with the Rescue Squad Explorer program back in Clarksville TN, I enjoyed it so much that I knew I could make a life out of helping others. I enjoy helping those who can not help themselves and those who fall. After September 11, 2001 my feelings for this job only got stronger, so now I do more to help out my community. I volunteer at the local Humane Society and I am currently a member of the Cherokee County EMA.
