- About Me:
- Im one of few female firefighters in my department and am still struggling for common acceptance among fellow members and even a few line officers. I hate responding to the scene in my car, because the truck ride up is the only way to go. I also love taking classes...both classroom and hands-on.

- Why I Joined Fire/EMS
- My uncle was a firefighter in his home county, his stories always interested me as a child. Plus seeing the firetrucks drive by in my neighborhood pushed me even more
- Why I Love Fire/EMS
- the rush of jumping on the rig and pulling up to the scene, the feeling of knowing that Im doing something useful with my life.
- Top Issues Facing Responders:
- line officers who shouldnt be in position. The qualifications for each position should be more strict. Also, active members who are in no shape to even wear a pack (take care of yourself first, and be realistic about your limitations)
