I was the first police officer in my family. I thought I was simply getting a job, nothing more. It did not take me long to realize it was so much more than that. It was a calling like no other. The impact that your 'job' had on others was something I could not have understood beforehand. Every moment, good and bad, is ingrained within me. I would not have wanted to do anything else.

I answered the call to be a police officer because I didn’t want to sit behind a desk and I enjoy adventure. I’ve always been helpful to a fault and this was a career that fostered that. Plus vehicle pursuits and exceptional firearm knowledge are nice!

Fire fighting to me is more than just a job that keeps the lights on, it fills a void inside me that longs to be helpful. If you are looking for a brotherhood that allows you to help others and make a career out of it, I would highly recommend looking into the fire service.
