VIDEO/PHOTOS: For some, the calling to serve comes from a deep desire to help others. For others, the call runs in their bloodline. For Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department Lieutenant Pam Ramsdell, it’s both. “I’ve always…wanted to help other people,” Ramsdell said. “The biggest reason was family. I grew up around the department.” Action News Jax Anchor Chandler Morgan sat down with Ramsdell and her parents at “the kitchen table” inside Station 61. The kitchen table is a place where many fire station meals are shared and memories are made. A fitting setting, as Pam recalled her vibrant memories visiting her father during his service with JFRD. “Going and visiting Dad at the fire station later on in his career when he was a safety officer, actually getting to ride in the car with him when he would go on calls,” she said.
