| Posted 5 months ago I grew up at a fire station. those were happy days for me. We had one of the first FF explorers troops. We won Best of show at the south west Fla. scout jambory. I loved every aspect of helping people. I've never stopped loving it. Help someone is some way everyday. Standing at the ready, Tail wagging; ready to run !! |

| Posted 5 months ago I LOVE to read books, and one day I came across one called The Protector from Dee Henderson and read that, and ever since then I've been living, breathing, sleeping, and eating firefighting! No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. |

| Posted 5 months ago My Uncle Bill ! He's an awesome guy, and ever since I was a little kid I wanted to be just like him. He was a charter member of Roanoke Island Fire Dept. in Manteo, N.C. He gave me the desire to be a F.F. Then when I was 15 I was riding with my cousin on his tow truck one Friday night, and we were dispatched to a bad multi vehicle MVA , extrication, DOAs, multiple injuries, just a couple mile down the road from my house, after watching all that went on, you'd think I would have run the other way, but I decide then and there that I had to help out any way I could. It's been a long time since then, but Uncle Bill still gets the credit. |

| Posted 2 months ago Firefighting is just something I've wanted to do since i was about 5 years old. It all started by watching a 70s show on TVland called Emergency. Then shortly later my dad and I were on the John Deere Tractor and when we got back to the farm our barn was on fire and we called it in and watching the fire being put out just cought my intrest and ive been intrested in it every since then! |
|
| Posted 2 months ago it's was a family thing and living in a small town when the call would go out i would go up to the fire station until they got in been a member since i was 16 would change it for anything !!! |
|
| Posted 2 months ago I was 12 as a junior firefighter. But I would say it started when the fire dept. came to the school and we got to ride in it around fifth grade year. Ever since that been wanting to get into the department. Wasnt old enough till 12 and then it all began. Till this day still going strong with it love every bit of it. All for community and the joy of maken a diffrence in peoples lives. |
|
| Posted 2 months ago I have always belived that I was put here to help people in the time of greatest need, and have devoted my life to that. |
|
| Posted 2 months ago I was on one of the only FF explorer post in the area, and i just fell in love with it |
|
| Posted 2 months ago Well my dad had been in the fire department for my town since i was born, but thats not the reason I joined. I joined because I wanted to see what it was like, and after going to the calls and then the CT fire academy I fell inlove with it. |
|
| Posted about 1 month ago well when i was 5 i love to see the fire trucks and i always said that was what i was going to do in life ive been doing it for about 6 1/2 years now i wish i had started it before but i dont feel bad that i didnt want to make shure i was ready but i wouldnt change it for anything in the world i can say i love to wake up and look forward to going to work i love my job and my brother and sisters it was like my long lost family |

| Posted about 1 month ago The reason i became a Firefighter/EMT was because one day I was around 13 y/o my Dad and me were called to my great-grandparents for my great-grandpa collasped on the floor. When we arrived my grandfather was laying on the floor dying. When EMS arrived it was new to the area the EMT's came into the house to assist and one of the EMT's walked out throwing up. So i stepped in to assist the other EMT. So from then on out i wanted to be a EMT and just like anyother boy or girl I wanted to be a Fireman. The sirens and lights always were cool and gave me cold chills. So when i got older i took the step. I have been a Volunteer Fireman for 10 yrs and EMT for about 6 yrs. But to say that, i guess every field(Law Enforecment, EMS, Fire FIghting) still gives me cold chills and excitment. I am a Fulltime 911 Dispatcher as well as being a Fireman and EMT. SO I have to say that most have my dreams have came true, wouldnt change a thing, I am here to help people and save lives. |

| Posted about 1 month ago Hmmm...why did I join the Fire Service? Well I was to ugly to be a successful stripper, to dumb to be a surgeon, and to smart to work in Burger King so I became a Firefighter/Medic instead........................... |
