Everyone, I just like people. I enjoy meeting new friends and more so catching up with old ones. You can't have to many friends..
You know you're a volunteer when..
You've woken up thinking your pager went off and as you look at it.., it does.----
You lay out your clothes from that day so if there is a call at night you can find them quickly.----
You carry enough in your car to extinguish a minor blaze.----
You spend a great deal of time explaining to your friends what it means to be a volunteer- "Yes, I'm ALWAYS on duty. No, I'm not kidding!"----
You can hear that the siren will go off even before your dog does.----
The microwave goes off and you're already out of the house thinking it was your pager... when you realize the popcorn is done.----
Your Dogs has learned to duck and take cover when they hear the pager go off for fear of being run down.----
Your girlfriend/wife plays the TONES just to get your attention!!----
You leave your spouse with a full cart of groceries, in the checkout line of the grocery store to go to a structure fire.----
You have ever run out of the diner across from the station when the tones go off without paying.... Yelling back to them, "Ill be right back!!"----
You complain about all the calls you are getting but secretly wish there were more!----
You buy the station wagon/minivan/SUV just so that you have enough room in your car for all your gear.
