well it all started when my step father woke me up and told me that the wtc had been attacked so i jusmped out of bed to here the phone ringing and it was my captin of my squad asking if i wanted to go to new york to help out and i said yes so at around 3pm we where on are way up to nyc as part of burlington county task force one well we got there at around 6pm to jersy city at midnight i was on my way over to manhatin to ground zero. i was there for 3 days at three diffrent staging areas there first was at ground zero then bulding 5 that colapest and then at batter part tran station. that is wher i spent the last 5 hours resting.
all and all i must have treated over 200 people them 3 day from firefighters, emts, polease officers. and chivelions that where in the bulding when it fell. it is something i will never forget as long as i live. but to many people thay say i am a hero but i did not do it to be a hero but just b/c there where people ther that where hurt and needed help. that is why i did it not to be a hero but b/c people needed help. if you would like to know more about what went on there you can e-mail your quastons to dragonfire_814@yahoo.com. thank you for reading my story.
sincerly
