Why I Joined Fire/EMS

Not to sure really. My father has been a part of firefighting for the past 30 yrs and I wan't really intrested in it. But when I moved to PA. I stopped by the local fire house joined and have been hooked ever since. Through this I found out that I am a 4th Generation firefighter in my family.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

When everybody goes home.....
