Why I Joined Fire/EMS

Well, I joined the Fire Department When I was 18, and still in school. I joined it for all the wrong reasons. Being 18, I just wanted to have an excuse to leave school and parade around with a bunch of red lights on my dash. Well, It didn't take too long for me to realize what the fire service was all about, and I decided that I didn't want to take it for granted. After a year off and away from the fire service in 1999, I decided to come back and do it for the right reasons. I also got my EMT license before I came back and joined Rescue. After a year or so, I started work at Delta Ambulance, and I have been there ever since. I love what I do, I really enjoy my time with the volunteer departments I am with, I enjoy my job, and most of all I enjoy the people I work with everyday.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

I feel good about myself by giving back to my community.
