Why I Joined Fire/EMS

Well I could sit here and tell you anything but its because I saw my father in his gear and always sneaking into his room and touching that badge. It was the best. Going to the station and seeing the trucks and the squad. stopping by the fires with mom to take the guys coffe and food. Yep just had to.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

its very rewarding helping others plus i dont know anything else
