What's it like being a firefighter? It's enjoyable because it is a place to get away from everything, even though it can be a lot of work sometimes.

How do your loved ones feel about you putting your life in danger? They support my deicison to become a volunteer firefighter. My father is a volunteer firefighter.

Tell us a story you'll never forget about your firefighting experience. I don't have one yet, because this is my first year as a volunteer firefighter. I hope to have one soon.

What would you tell people interesting in joining your fire company: They should definitely try to join because it is really exciting. You learn something new everyday.
