My names Jeff. I'm 19 and live in the small town of Toluca, IL which only has about 1400 people. I'm the 4th generation of my family to be on the volunteer fire dept in town. I'm currently going to school for Firefighting/EMT-B. I hope to continue my education and get to atleast a FF3/Paramedic status and get on a full-time department.
