Reedy 68th of the fighting 26's Page

Profile Information

About Me:: Im a real quiet guy and very shy. I'm about 6" ft and i weigh about 165 lbs. I'm a hard working guy with a big heart and sometimes i get used by the female race for that but none the less I'm a pretty normal guy. I love being a firefighter.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS: Ive always had a deep feeling of helping people. Ive always wanted to be someones hero and now I am my Community and my Family's hero. My father died when i was 10 years old and I never remember him saying he was proud of me this is one thing that I do that i know he would be proud of because I'm proud of myself for it. I havent been a firefighter very long but I have been one long enough to know that this is my obsession...this is my life...

Why I Love Fire/EMS: The feeling of never knowing when that pager is gonna go off and never knowing what I'll be facing next
