Top Issues Facing Responders:

Driving safer out thier. It isn't only the driver/ engineer's job to handle the truck, the COMPANY OFFICER is ultimatley incharge of that unit and the crew with them. As a team they must get the unit to the scene in the safest manner possible. Remember the people that call 911 and the families that allow (trust YOU) to get there men/women home deppend on you. LODD's need to stop and one way we can do that is by good decisions to be made in the front two seats!!!!!
