Top Issues Facing Responders:

Getting young people, or anyone to join and stay in a department. The towns and cities need to realize just what goes into serving on the departments and find a way to better fund the equipment that we need and some way to reward people for their hard work and time. There are some of us willing to do what we do for free but it doesn't pull in many new folks.
