 For me it was last year when we got the call that our house was on fire and that both animals my cat and dog were still inside and that a fireman risked his live for my PET i then wanted to be that kind of a hero and fell like i could really repay me debt to society

Y'all will probably think i'm crazy but when I was little I was obsessed with the tv show emergency.  I wanted to be  like Johnny and Roy.

I always wanted to be in a profession where I could help someone else in their greatest time of need, and I've always had the greatest respect for firefighters and EMT's. Doctors and Nurses get all the glory, but they get to the patient AFTER we do. Like my family says, my fight or flight response is wired wrong, I'm gung-ho on rushing in when others are too worried about self-preservation. I think the saying goes something like this: Find something you love to do, then find a way to get paid while you do it. I love helping people, and that will NEVER get old for me.


It also helps that I happen to LOVE how men look in turnout gear, I love fire, and I have a thing for the trucks  LOL... Maybe I should leave that out when I go for the Fire Academy, they may think I'll distract easily!
