Why I Joined Fire/EMS

TO HELP PEOPLE IN THEIR TIME OF NEED.
TO BRING LIFE BACK TO PEOPLE. GIVE THEM ANOTHER DAY....THE BEST PART OF THIS JOB IS DOING IT BECAUSE YOU WANT TO, NOT BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO. THAT'S WHY 39 YEARS AGO I BECAME A FIREFIGHTER.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

HELPING PEOPLE IN NEED

Top Issues Facing Responders:

THE BIG ISSUES FACING FIREFIGHTERS TODAY IS THE PROPER TRAINING AND NOT ENOUGH PAY FOR A JOB WELL DONE.
