Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I joined first of all to help people in my community. I started in 1984 riding with our local ambulance squad. Left there to start a family. Years later, friends/family were already members of the fire dept. Wanting to do something more, I decided to complete an application. Upon doing some family tree work for family reunion, I discovered that my Grandfather, Clifford Cook was one of the original founders of the fire department that I am a member. We are just celebrating our 45 yrs of service anniversary. (I guess you could say, It's been in our family, so I'm carrying on a family tradition.) Myself, my oldest son, and my husband are members. My daughter just recently joined our explorer post. I have one more son to go.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
I love to assist people and to make a difference in their lives
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Minimal squad member response to calls at times. Being a volunteer agency, everyone has other jobs, most of which are out of our coverage area (we are a small rural area).
