Hey Chief! I hope you guys haven't been as busy as we have been. It looks like a record year for us, but it is slowing down a little (thank God for the rain). Stay safe!
Hello. I am Chelsea 32 and we are hoping to get some protocols set up for our first responder service. We were hoping to get a digital copy to use and modify to fit our department. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks. amicasa@sbcglobal.net
