Submit Your Stories
The "First Responders Handbook of Humor" is now complete! The book features humorous first responder stories from all 50 states, Washington DC and 5 different countries! But we are now accepting stories for our second book. Keep in mind that for each first responder that contributes a usable story for our project we will send you a free copy of the book when it is published. So we look forward to your stories.
Deputy Sheriff, Dan Jordan and Firefighter / Paramedic, John Hicks have teamed up to author a new book, titled “First Responders - Handbook of Humor.” This cooperative book features humorous stories, poems, and touching acts of kindness from first responders: Police officers, Firefighters, and Emergency Medical Technicians as they experienced them throughout their careers.
We are currently seeking stories for the second book and web site. We welcome contributions of original and true, but humorous anecdotes from active or retired first responders. So take some time and remember those funny things that have happened in your career as a first responder. Once your memory is jogged and your funny bone is tickled, contribute your anecdote to us via the contacts / form below. If we use your contribution we will give you credit in the book, thus memorializing your name and career forever! Also when the book is published, we will give you a copy of the book to share with family and friends.
