Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I FELT AS A MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY I LIVED IN. I NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING TO HELP THE YOUNGER PEOPLE SEE THAT YOU COULD DO WHATEVER YOU PUT YOUR MIND TO. AND I ALSO FELT THAT JOINING THE LOCAL HOMETOWN FIRE DEPARTMENT WOULD GIVE ME A CHANCE TO GIVE BACK TO THE TOWN THAT GAVE TO ME.
