Top Issues Facing Responders:

People getting the right training. There is a Dept. around where I live that won't send someone to become certified in using the Jaws of Life. This recently bit them in the ass. One of my friend's Aunt was in a car wreck and they couldn't do anything about it because they weren't trained on how to use them. It just upsets me.
