Why I Joined Fire/EMS

Grandfather, dad, uncles, etc. all firemen. Taught from an early age we should help our neighbors, this is how it was done when I grew up. I volunteer because you should give back to your community.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

Helping save lives or providing help to those who need it.

Top Issues Facing Responders:

Hours and hours of training. Dangers of the job when on or responding to a call. Everyone needs to look out for the fire, rescue, and police while they are on the scenes of accidents, fires, or when we are responding to render aid to someone who needs us.
