Tyler Haynes, who is enrolled in the Firefighting II class at Piedmont, is most enthusiastic about firefighting as a career. He joined Washington Fire and Rescue in March 1995 when he was 16 just after he got his driver's license. He said that after his first EMS call he was hooked.

Ttyler said the majority of what they respond to in the county is rescues rather than fires. The most common rescues include calls for injuries from falls, asthma attacks, difficulty breathing, and sometimes overdoses. He plans to attend paramedic classes and become certified nationally, and expects to apply for a position with the fire department in Fairfax where he would fight fires and work as a medic.
