- Why I Joined the Fire/EMS:
- Actually it happened more as a fluke than anything. I was always interested in firefighting but never even considered it for myself until a volunteer suggested I give it a try. It turned out I had a lot more heart than the person who got me into the fire company!!

- About Me:
- My first call was a backbreaking brushfire in sweltering heat. I'm talking about indian tanks and steep inclines here. I was one of the last three firefighters out after we extinguished the fire completely and the Chief took me aside and asked me if the experience made me want to quit. My response? "Hell no!" After almost 6 years in the fire service, I feel that firefighting is in my blood, it's something I could never deny nor get away from. I love it. I was promoted to Lieutenant two years ago and this year became 1st Captain. I've also served as Financial Secretary for three years and am on the Board of Directors. The best part about this story goes back to that brushfire, my first call. It was there I met and fell in love with my now husband! :)

- Top Issues Facing Responders:
- I see a lot of leniency... things not being done as safely as it can be, companies growing complacent, always expecting a call to be nothing out of the ordinary. This is a dangerous job, firefighters (paid and volunteer alike) need to wake up and realize that you can't let your guard down, you can't freelance on fire scenes and that fire departments are not social clubs. It's a job and needs to be treated as one.
- I Love Being in Fire/EMS Because:
- Knowing that some gave all, just doing what they do.

Run your mouth when I'm not around-
it's easy to achieve
You cry to weak friends that sympathize
Can you hear the violins playing your song?
Those same friends tell me your every word.

You can't be something you're not
Be yourself, by yourself

oh my god, i'm a girl!!
I have never met such a chauvinistic bunch of emergency service workers until I joined Firefighter Nation.
I've noticed posts made by female firefighters complaining that they are treated differently within their departments because of their sex and I admit, I was surprised. It's something I've not encountered within my own company. Why would your gender make any difference if you are there to do the same job? So I reply to a few posts, letting them know that it isn't the same everywhe…

Tis the season!
As the days grow colder and the days inch by to that infamous monthly meeting the first Monday in December, claws come out and true colors show in my fire department. Yearly elections! As if we don't see whom is buttering up whom in hopes of winning their votes... the promises made that vary so greatly from person to person depending on who they are made to. Every attempt is made to backstab anyone standing in their way. It's absolutely pathetic. Immature, assinine behavior suc…
