Firefighter

by Sam Little
(Wheelwright KY)

At first, I wanted to be a firefighter for one simple reason, to help people.

However, it did not take long until I realized helping did not just mean putting the wet stuff on the red stuff.

I had always been a big contributor to charity, working on haunted houses and fund raisers for various agencies, and I felt that I could use what I had learned in my dept. Now I take what I know to local schools and teach kids about fire and what to do when faced with it.

Now I am not just here to help people, I am here to help my community, bring them together and aid in uniting everyone to take a stand and be safer.
