Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I started as a Jr. Fire Fighter at age 10 when my dad joined the VFD . What little boy did not grow up wanting to be a Fireman ? The fire service is a large part of who I am . From Jr. to Chief , I have worked my way up the chain . No matter if I ever hear " thank you " from anybody , I get a great feeling in knowing I tried to help someone in need .
Why I Love Fire/EMS
It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside .
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Getting caught up in the " gotta hurry up and do something " mindset . Garbagemen do not get excited when they round the corner and see a huge pile of garbage . People call 911 . You are a professional , that's why they sent you . Take your time and be safe in the job .
