 My name is Bennett Marska. I've been a junior firefighter at the Asthma Volunteer Fire Department for almost three years now. Being a junior firefighter is someone under the age of 18 who is a firefighter and they learn the ropes at a young age. The reason I joined is because I wanted to learn the ropes. It's been a long dream of mine. The reason someone should join as a junior firefighter is because you learn a lot about the fire service and a lot about your community that you serve in. You can make many friends from neighboring departments and your department also.
