Why I Joined Fire/EMS

When I was young I saw too many people not get involved or try to help if they saw someone injured. Unfortunatly there was a bad wreck in front of my parents house when I was around 14 years old young lady was ejected and I had just taken CPR training with Boy Scouts she was not breathing so I kept her airway open performed CPR til EMS arrived. Young lady survived and saw I could make a difference.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

To be able at the time to serve my community.
