After 12 years of serving my community it was time for a change. Firefighting is a physically intense and demanding activity. It was time for me to let that go so I did not end up needing to be one to be rescued. In my wildest dreams I never expected to be a FF/EMT, but after having found my way into it, I have no regrets about it. Matter of fact, I am proud of being able to have served my community, learned valuable skills, and made strong lifelong bonds with my fellow responders.
