Why I Joined Fire/EMS

My father had just ahd a heartattack and my brother and I realised there where almost no vollenteers left in our area so we got 6 more to join with us in about the same time frame , now we have a team of 10 out of our hall and I'll back them up with my life . and I know they would also for me

Why I Love Fire/EMS

unfortunatly it is for the little thanks we recieve . The one in say 10 that come back and tell you or out of the blue ,come up and hug you . I also have a pease of mind knowing that if something ever happened to myself I 'll know they'll be there for me as I would for them or anyone

Top Issues Facing Responders:

Safty , Auto extracation training (evey call is differant ) More up-dates on vehicle safty devices ( vehicle air bags ) some cars have basic ....2 bags . the newer, fancier,escalade caddies fully loaded 20 some odd air bags ( front,side window side inpack,dash,rear head rest , between the front and rear seats drop curtain air bags ).......holly !!!! spend more time looking for air bag compartments than patiant care .
