Top Issues Facing Responders:
I feel that there are major issues facing responders today. One of these major issues is the lack of personnel that volunteer fire companies/departments are faced with on a daily basis. This is the same factor that volunteer EMS associations are faced with as well. Pay personnel are always available to respond whenever they are dispatched to an incident. Volunteer departments have to rely on citizens that may have previous jobs or commitments that they are attending.

    The answer to your questions is no. But I do like reading that in the PA Fireman.

    Good evening to you!
    Do you write a column in Pennsylvania firemen that is entitled "fire police"? I was just wondering if this was you that is writing this column. If it is keep up the good work and I am a big fan of your column and of the Pennsylvania firemen catalog.
    Sincerely,
    Stephen J. Smith "
