Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I grew up around law enforcement thanks to my parents and uncles and such. I was always doing ride-a-longs in the police cars with my dad. I saw firefighters in action one time when I was 5, and I have been hooked ever since. I love helping people, and I love the atmosphere of the firestation.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

I love it all. The tops on the list is seeing a kids face when doing tours of the station and showing him/her the trucks.
