Why I Joined Fire/EMS

Well my stepdad was a volunteer fireman and I thought that it was pretty neat as I was growing up. So I joined the firedept in 1995 and still am a member. I also became an emt in 1995 and joined our local amblance service. I now serve as a co coordinator for our service.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

Being able to help our small community were we depend on strictly volunteer services

Top Issues Facing Responders:

The feeling that the state of Ilinois is making it harder and harder for strictly volunteer services to exist due to lack of funding and more and more papework
