Why do firefighters love the job so much?

Well for me I have loved this "business" since i was a youngster. I live a block away from the station so I can rember when the siren went off i'd rush over to the window and watch all the men rush over to the station jump on the trucks and head out!

I was always captivated how when the siren goes off people come from where ever and drop everything to help in most cases people we dont even know!

I have always had this saying "that the you don't pick the job the job picks you!" We are a different breed of people we care when others could careless! It's not always easy but that's why I love it.

Well im done now lets hear why you love the job!

I get to wear three hats, one is a Fire Helmet , the other is and EMS cap and the other will one day be the crown I get when I die and meet the Lord. All 3 provide me with opportunities to help and minister to those who are trapped and hurting.

I also love to push myself to extremes and fight fires.; ▶ Reply to This
