First time blog

Ok This is my first blog dont know how good it will be or when the next one will be

This is going back a few years ago when I was a Firefighter.
  In the small town I live in people always fussed about the volunteer fighters. They would say the only reason they joined up was too drive fast and run sirens all the time.To set around the firehouse and shoot the breeze and do nothing.
 They were not around at 2 am when the tones dropped with a house on fire or a wreck.Didn't matter if it was raining or below zero.Or when you are doing something with your family and you drop it to go help someone in need not knowing who they are where they are from.
  I joined the fire dept. hoping I could help someone in need not for the glory of it but to know in my heart that I was able to be there for them in their time of need.Whether helping them save their home or just some unreplacable memories or in the worst case a family member.The call I didnt like to hear was a body recovery after something unimaginable happened been on a few too many of those.
 But back too the people who complained about the driving and everything else. You let it be their home on fire or them be in an accident or a member of their family then the firefighters had better get there fast as they can.I have often wanted too tell them "If you could do better then come and join up and you can teach everyone else how to do it".

  1. Cool that you were once a fireman. So you don't go on calls anymore?
    Just curious.
    Are you on Twitter too?
