Why I Joined Fire/EMS
Enjoy helping others, my grandfather, father and cousin were all in the fire service, either volunteer or career. My uncle was also the paid fire chief. Some would say it was inevitable.

I urge everyone to work toward excellence in every aspect of your fire/ems career (rather volunteer or paid). It will set you apart and your opportunities will be enhanced greatly!

The people that I work with and the people that I am able to help
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Firefighter Safety - Physical Fitness, Traffic Accidents
Funding due to economic downturn
Staffing reductions
