Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I WAS IN THE MARINES AND WHEN I GOT OUT I M ISSED THAT ADRENALINE RUSH SO I DECIDED TO DO A RIDE ALONG WITH MY LOCAL DEPT AFTER THAT I WAS HOOKED. EVERY TIME A CALL GOES OUT ITS JUST LIKE THE FIRST IT NEVER GETS BORING DOING WHAT IVE COME TO LOVE WHILE GETTING THAT SATISFACTION OF HELPING SOMEONE IN A TIME OF NEED.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

THE ADRENALINE RUSH AND THAT FEELING THAT I DID WHATEVER I COULD TO MY BEST ABILITY TO HELP SOMEONE THAT NEEDED US.
