- Why I Joined Fire/EMS
- I started as a cadet at a volunteer fire dept about a month and a half before I turned 16. I joined because I was already at the fire station with the guy I was dating at the time. I then earned my first responder, hazmat ops, and fire 1 by the time I was 18. After graduating from high school and running calls, I realized that I wanted to be a paramedic. I still have my certs, except my first responder. I let that one expire just before I started EMT school. I let my EMT lapse once I got my medic license and had it for over a year. I love helping people, so in addition to working 24 on, 48 off, I also rejoined the volunteer fire dept where I started. Unfortunately, due to a lack of time between my full time job, my part time job, and my son, I had to quit the volunteer service again.
