What made you decide to volunteer with Company 10?

When I moved to New Baltimore, I was looking for a way to give back to the community. I discovered the New Baltimore Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company, which went hand in hand with my passion for the medical field.  Volunteering there has allowed me to gain valuable experience. Since starting at Company 10, my passion for EMS has grown, and given me the motivation to pursue my Paramedic certification.
