community serivce

I’m a volunteer firefighter for the edgewater park volunteer firehouse in The Bronx. It is the only remaining firehouse in the Bronx. For my community service I didn’t have to go anywhere since I am already apart of this organization so instead I’ll just tell you about what i do and what its like being a volunteer firefighter. I joined the firehouse last year with a couple of my friends. It’s a fun place to hang out in on the weekends but there is also responsibility that comes with being apart of it. There are two meetings every month and a drill once a week, whenever the fire horn rings every member runs up to the firehouse and then deals with the problem wheter it is someone needing oxygen, a gas leak or in the worst case a fire. You may wonder how does everyone go up once a horn rings, but where i live the community is pretty small and close so it takes less than a minute to go up there. Since joining the firehouse i have learned many lifesaving skills and more importantly it helps out the community and creates a closer community where there is trust .I am proud of my community and that is something to say when your living in The Bronx and i wished other communites could be like mine so the borough could become a better and safer place.
