Why I Joined Fire/EMS

My dad was on a volunteer department when I was growing up and I fell in love with it then. In 1999, I got a chance to become a firefighter with an industrial fire dept. I became a firefighter on a county fire dept. in 2001 where I have been since.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

Helping people

Top Issues Facing Responders:
