Fire Department Update

















My life definitely is not boring! With school, school tours starting back up this month, and going out on calls with the fire department, I am pretty busy. We get called out for motor vehicle accidents, medical calls, and fires and it doesn't matter if it is 1:00 in the afternoon or at 3:00 in the morning. We have had several structure fires in the middle of the night recently. Fighting a fire is not easy work, it literally takes everything out of you. A fire fighter in a neighboring county was just convicted of arson. They suspected him and his friends of starting 14 fires but he was convicated three counts of arson. I honestly don't understand why anyone would do that because putting the fire out is so exhausting for us and so devastating for the homeowners. When you can save someones hay field from being destroyed or save a house from total destruction than it is rewarding. Fire is a very scary thing and I just hope no one I love ever has to go through a tragedy like losing a home.

I cannot imagine why anyone would purposely start a malicious fire. Unbelievable!

Thats just crazy that firefighters would start fires. They should know what someone else is going to have to go through. School/work/life in general is exhauting. Keep up the good work though. It sounds like school is going awesome and you're gaining a lot of experience with the fire department. I'm proud of you sis! Love you!!
