Why I Joined the Fire/EMS:
Started as a cop.  Got tired of being the 1st person on the scene with no training, having to look at a person and say, "It's okay!  Hold on!  Rescue is on the way."  So while I was working the street, I had the fire chief sponser me for an EMT-B class.  Finally got my medic license last year.  My instructor convinced me to apply for my hometown dept.  Got hired last July.
