Why I Joined Fire/EMS

Riding my bike one day at 15 and saw a car accident where the local rescue squad did not have the equipment nor the training to do the job properly. Three people died! Later that year a friend who owned a service station where I washed cars for school money asked me to spend the night with him at the volunteer rescue station. That was that!!

Why I Love Fire/EMS

Keeping people safe and alive!
