Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I joined the F.D. because I want to help people in need/distress and I wanted to be the one on the scene of an emergency situation whatever it may be . I wanted to know what was going on and not be the confused person looking around at the chaos and unknown . I have always jumped into action during emergency situations unknowing of the dangers (No Fear). Now I jump into action and do it safely and effectively.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

I get to run in when every one else is running out!
