- Top Issues Facing Responders:
- the major issues facing responders is the fact that the world has changed and we have to take a different aspect to the calls we respond too and in some cases we have to approach things differently also. another issue facing the fire service is the fact the people don't have the time to do much volunteering anymore, volunteer fire departments need to find something to keep the members they have and a good recruiting tool to get more members.
