- i have been involved with the fire department since i was a little boy. I grew up one block from the firehouse and my father would take me to the station to see the trucks and firemen. I always knew that i wanted to become a firefighter when i grew up and i did. i at first did not want to go to paramedic class but my friends convinced me and i have been doing that aspect for 19 years.
