- About Me:
- Got hired at SCEMS right out of EMT class, and have been there since. Great company, because they're paying for me to go through HACC's Paramedic program! (And I'm doing very well in it...I'd never hear the end of it if I didn't!) No other info...I worked in medicine for 10 years prior to EMS, but when I started my job, as low-paying as it may be, I felt like I was finally home.

- Why I Joined Fire/EMS
- I love the adrenaline rush and, even more, having the ability to help other people. To me it's an honor to be able to soothe someone who needs it just as much as it's an honor to run a good trauma. There's more to why I'm in this, but it's a loooooooooong story.
- Why I Love Fire/EMS
- Besides helping people, I love the fact that every day is a chance to learn something new.
- Top Issues Facing Responders:
- Keeping good providers in the prehospital setting.

If you have never had the opportunity, take a minute to explore firefighterclosecalls.com and the secret list. This is a wonderful web site to explore and learn from the mistakes of others. It is also, sadly, a roll call of those whom have made the ultimate sacrifice, in their service to their communities.
We have all joined the Public Safety Community for a variety of our personal reasons. Some of us are paid, while others volunteer. Many are firefighters, while others enjoy the EMS side of the house. We have active firefighters, line officers, chiefs, administrative officers, and a number of old timers who have seen most of the mistakes already made at least once. We have firefighters with many many years of experience, and others that, well, don’t. All are welcome here in The Nation. We welcome your input, just as we hope that you learn from the experiences of others.
Personally, I have 31 years service to the local fire department. I have held most line officer positions, and some administrative as well. Now part of the Old Guard so to speak, I am less inclined to go charging into where others are trying to escape. Instead, I choose to monitor the fire scene closely, attempting to ensure the safety of all on the fire scene.
I welcome you to the FFN. Here we all share one common goal.....
