My son is a Fireman/ EMT. He works volunteer with the Fire Dept.in his state EMS is separate from the Fire Dept. He used to be a pastor . He was not getting paid enough to live on. He went back to school and stayed with us until he landed a job. EMS here is able to do more and of course he was not able to get a job with the FD here. He went to TN. 8 yrs. He truly is a county boy.
