Meet the Fire Fighter: Jeff Loeks

Name: Jeff Loeks


Age: 43


Years of Service: 5


Primary Occupation:  Health Unit Coordinator - Regions Hospital



Why did you join the Fire Department: Wanted to try and give back to the community that has been so good to my family and I.

What do you enjoy most about it: I have always felt the need to duplicate the "brotherhood" feeling that I experienced in the military.  The Fire Department has come the closest to that.  My favorite part is "tanking up."  I love the feeling of having your mask on and depending on equipment to help you do your job.

Why should someone else become a Fire Fighter/EMT: There is only one reason in my mind and that is to serve your community.  If you are doing it for that purpose, than you will never be let down.  You will have THAT opportunity every time you arrive at the station.
