About Me:
I am 40 yrs old and have 2 children. My daughter is 20 and off at college and my little guy is 9. My hubby is a law enforcement officer, currently working as detective for the Special Investigations Bureau.
I grew up in Peterborough Ontario Canada then moved to the USA in 1999 where I began my career in EMS. I've never looked back and have enjoyed it immensely.
Emergency services have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up in a family full of cops. Originally I had thought I would follow in my fathers foot steps and be a cop. However, I quickly realized that policing wasn't for me. I just didn't seem to have the "cop attitude"...So emergency medicine is where I decided I needed to be. I absolutely LOVE it.....I've always felt a strong need and desire to help people and what better way to do it then in EMS.
Thanks Laura!!! EMS in Fairfax County...well, at least you are never bored!!!! From your photo's it looks like you have a little medic in training!!! be safe.
Hey Laura: Great to officially meet you. Welcome to FFN. We can be a fun group - so I really look forward to seeing you around the pages. Stay safe. Heather
I see you are from Peterborough. While I'm from New York, I grew up (mostly) in Mississauga. I live in South Carolina now. I still have family in Brampton, Ottawa, and Ganonoque. Nice to see you on FFN. Sorry to hear about needing surgery. Best wishes on your speedy recovery.
Laura, Welcome to the Firefighter Nation. I am glad you joined the group.There is lots to do, read and be involved with. Your participation and involvement is important to us all. Have fun and look around.
