"I have recently been enrolled as a Volunteer Firefighter for the San Andreas Fire Department. I ask myself the question “why do I enjoy it?” Volunteering for SAFD gives you that sense of community help through a different scope of life. My current employment is within the Blaine County Sheriff’s Office as the Duty Major. Working alongside SAFD gives the opportunity for the departments to link and evolve a new era of local aid. I enjoy what I do because it means I can help those who need it most."
