It can be anything from someone breaking their ankle to their grandmother having a heart attack or a car accident. Very few of our calls are actually fire related. But that’s part of what I enjoy about this job. Every day is different and it’s an exciting opportunity to help others.” – Firefighter, Trayvaugn Cobbs.

What surprised you most about joining the fire service?

I learned a lot in the first couple of years about taking ownership of being a firefighter and taking this job as serious as the public expects us to.” – Firefighter, Allison King.
