| I am the one who comes to your home in the middle of the night when you call for me. I am the one who responds
to the car accident that you are involved in. I am the one who faces the bitter cold at a storm related incident. I am the one who braves the intense heat at a brush fire. I am the one who searches for a child lost in the woods. I am the one who performs CPR on you or your family. I am the one who searches a pond for a missing person. I
am the one who rescues an animal from a frozen lake. I am the one who goes into a burning building when all others are
running out. I am the one who trains constantly to save lives. I am the one who sometimes doesn't see my family
for days because of an emergency. I am the one who is on duty seven days a week for you. I am the one who visits
your children's schools to talk about safety. I am the one who you see every day but you don't know my name. I am the one who doesn't get paid for my service. I am the one who is proud of what I do for you and the area I
live in. I am the one who will give my life to save yours.
Do you know who I am?
I am a volunteer!
