Why I Joined Fire/EMS

Joni-My father is a firefighter and grew up around the firehouse and wanted to serve my hometown community and be a part of something that was very important to my father. Henry-My Father joined just before me and I followed him a short time later. It was the only thing to do in a small town...little did I know it would be what lead me to my career,
