Why I Joined the Fire/EMS:
When i was 4 i used to go down to my cousin Fredy's station in Vineland (6) and when he pulled out Ladder 1 i was Amazed by its size and ever since then i've loved fire trucks and i love the fire service even more since i joined Janvier.

A lot of people always ask me, "Why do you want to run into a burning building?". Its an experience that not many people can experience and I cant explain it. Most people say they join to ride the trucks, hit the siren and break stuff. Its cool and all but just the accomplishment of knowing I am giving back to the community is all i could care about.

9/11 Ceremony Speech...

Yesterday was the Salem County Patriot Day ceremony remembering 9/11. One of the instructors with the local Fire Academy was telling the story of when he went up to NY and it really was moving and i thought everyone should hear it even though I don't remember it word for word I'll do my best:


"On the morning of September 11th, 2001, I was at work when I heard that the World Trade Centers were hit. Right when I was told this I rushed over to the nearest TV to see what was going on. The

Hi Shaun: I lean towards the last name on helmet, but agree that it stinks that AFTER your effort the department changes it's formal mind. Speaking of using nicknames between ourselves, I never appreciated the impact when I would have "Killer" g...
