- Years in Fire/EMS:

- Why I Joined the Fire/EMS:
- My neighbor growing up in Cold Spring, was an EMT with the local fire department and an EMT instructor for the state. He was a great guy, and I used to help him out with yard work and what not. One day he asked me if I was 18 yet because I could get on the department and they could use someone like me. I was only 16 at the time, so I waited. Once I turned 18, I went to the fire house, and the rest is history. So I owe it all to Ron Hill. Thanks, Ron!

- My name is Jeremy. I'm 32, happily married to my wife for 8 years. I have a 7 year old son, a 2 year old daughter and a third on the way. I was recently able to quit working to stay home with my kids.
When I was single, firefighting was my life. I actually lived at the fire house for the first year I was a firefighter. I have always been a volunteer. I am not currently on a department, but live near 2 excellent houses. I am planning to apply to one, or both as a volunteer and hope to be able to turn that into a paid position.
I love music, comedy, camping, boating and hiking. I love spending time with my family and friends.

Welcome to the family where the language and reasoning important the Border is not in our work is to save lives regardless of color, religion or social position, much less. The important thing in our work does not need language to communicate, or borders to help.
Greetings from Mexico.
you’re new friend Filiberto.
