Why I Joined Fire/EMS

I honestly cannot say what drew me into the profession. I can remember as young as 12 saying I wanted to be a firefighter.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

it kicks assI love the constant challenge, how every call is different. When the tones go off, you never know what it is going to be. I like a job that keeps me physically active and one where I am constantly challenged. Each call tests me physically, emotionally or intellectually.
