你是为了头衔还是为了社会?

在我上学的地方，我看到很多同学，他们要么已经在消防部门工作了几年，要么是新来的消防员。当我们开始消防队工作的时候为什么我们想成为一名消防员?是因为他们工作时间很好吗?是因为他们开着清凉的卡车，还会喷水吗?或者是因为他们真的关心他们的社区，想要有所作为。在我的家庭部门，过去5年我一直非常积极地参与其中，我总是听到新申请人的一个回答是，“我想帮助我的社区。”随着时间的推移，我看到那些消防员想要像我一样升职，因为我们为这个部门付出了所有的努力。然而，总有一些人一开始是帮助社区和拯救生命的，然后他们就陷入了困境。有些时候，我不得不退一步，然后问自己:“我到底为什么在这里?”我的回答是，我们来这里是为了帮助和服务我们的社区。 They pay their taxes so that they can have fire and emergency medical protection. Firefighters love their jobs and I know everyone wants to succeed. I am like that myself however in the back of our minds we need to remember why we really took the job and what the fire service is really about. During my time here at Loveland Symmes Fire Department it has shown me a lot about community importance. The community depends on us to be there in the time of need and we have a job to do. Its always about the customer as a store chain would say. Here in Loveland they have taught me the significance of community outreach. They are out in the public doing either touch the truck events, bounce house setup at parties, or participating in a parade for Memorial Day and much more. Today firefighters always have to watch their backs with social media and everyone having a cell phone. It’s important that we do our job for the community and not get wrapped up in our minds that its about us. It’s okay to want to be successful but always remember its about the community and how it will effect them.

保持安全，保持训练
