Becoming a Firefighter was my life goal and proudest accomplishment, I really enjoyed the work and most of the people I worked with and I miss it every day. Unfortunately my Fire departments administration and leadership has had on going issues which continue to worsen and I became caught up in the turmoil of their inability lead or to care for their members. Its sad to know that I am just one of the many Firefighters at my old department who are being mistreated, bullied or treated unfairly. After that experience coupled with challenging calls and the publics overall abuse of the emergency system I burned out and decided to call it quits. After resting and getting into a healthier mental state i have come to realize that there are things I wish I had done differently, but at the same time i think ultimately leaving the fire service was the bet thing i could do for myself and my family. Now everyday is much more work and we are experiencing a new kind of stress as small business owners. But at least I am in control of my own life and no one can ever treat me like that again.
