Why I Joined the Fire/EMS:

I work for the University of Alaska Anchorge at our Sports Complex and after having a gentleman have a stroke in our sauna and almost die, then a couple of months later I had a lady who had a heart attack in our pool. I'm also the manager of my son's competition hockey team and I seen some pretty nasty cuts, broken bones and concussions.....so I decided I wanted more training. After I got my EMT certification I joined a volunteer emt group that handle most High School athletic events, moto cross events and special olympic events so that I could keep practicing what I had learned and they do lots training so I'll be ready when it's time to recert.
