Top Issues Facing Responders:

LODD......we have to do our best to reduce these numbers!! Training, safety, and more than anything overall firefighter health and wellness. There are too many of our brothers that die from apparent heart attacks!! We need better communication of health and wellness information, and what we as individuals and as departments can do to improve our overall physical condition.
