What Firefighting means to you.

Hello All, I'm Firefighter Hicks and I would like to ask everyone what being a Fire/EMS Professional means to you. I will tell you what it means to me: It means getting up at all hours of the night to go save some poor soul from danger and to have them look at me with so much love in their eye knowing that if it wouldn't have been for me and the rest of my team they would not be here right now. It means responding to a car accident and working hard to ensure that everyone gets out safe and goes home to family and loved ones. It means teaching the younger ones about Fire Safety and Prevention so that they have a better understanding of what to do to prevent a fire from happening and what to do when and if a fire would happen. I love doing what I do and knowing that because of me and every other Fire/EMS personal out there the people of our communities can live safe and rest assured that we will doing everything in our power to keep them safe. I would like everyone this site to respond to this post because I want to know what doing what we do everyday means to you.

Thank You
Firefighter Hicks.
Davy Volunteer Fire Department.

Firefighter Hicks; There are a lot of people who think that being a fire fighter makes them a hero. But I think it makes us the ones who show up in the middle of the night to help someone who doesn't have anyone else at the time they are needed, As for being a hero they are the brothers and children that we have services for to say good by. I have been in the volunteer service for 30 years am now asst.chief of a small dept. When the time comes to think of how to feel about what you do is when that small child says thank you. You will feel like a giant!! That is what its all about for me, helping those who need it, when nobody else can.. Remember SERVICE.
