Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I was a ginny pig for a rescue team at a coal mine. They used me as a victim during their trainings when I was 17 yrs old. Once they dropped me over a tower in a stokes basket I was hooked. When I turned 18 yrs old I joined a fire dept.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
The adrenaline rush when the tones go off and you don't know what you got til you get there.

Hi Kelly,
No we are not to busy this time of year. A couple of brush fires, and a good amount of false alarms. We also do marine rescues in the jamaica bay area, but just mostly people running out of gas.
