- About Me:
- I started this job late in life for all that I was raised around it. I was 30 when I finally went to EMT school. I had been a volunteer FF for about 4 years when I finally went to school. I started working as an EMT about 6 months after I obtained my certification and have been with the same company ever since. I am still a volunteer for the same dept. I was in, back then, although we have unified and now are all under one hat instead of 10 different depts as we were back then.
- Day Job:
- EMS
- Side Jobs or Other Organizations:
- Mona Vie Ind. Dist.
- Top Issues Facing Responders:
- From the EMS aspect, I feel that abuse of the system by an un-educated public is a HUGE problem. People use us as a taxi service and until someone comes up with a viable solution I guess we'll keep on suffering and the ER's will continue to be packed with people who haven't got the God given sense to go to a regular physician instead of using the ER as such.
- I Love Being in Fire/EMS Because:
- A chance to serve and help people, to do what's right for your fellow human beings!
