Kathy Bremers, Coal Creek Canyon.  The personal rewards and satisfaction received from the fire and rescue service are often beyond description.

There is a tremendous sense of accomplishment after knocking down a structure fire or controlling a wildland fire, compassion for accident victims and those in need of emergency medical care, and a strong sense of pride knowing that you have helped your community.

In addition to a desire to help people, you also need courage, dedication, assertiveness, and a willingness to face new challenges.
