When u first joined the FD what did ur friends family and people you know say and think about you ?

Asked by ... over 10 years ago

My family didn't really know what was entailed. I really wanted to go into law enforcement but my wife asked me to be a firefighter instead, she felt it was safer. That was 26 years ago and I am still doing it. My family ended up being proud of my career choice.
