Why I Joined Fire/EMS: To keep up with the latest news and issue's that affect all of us.

Top Issues Facing Responders:: Job security, pay cuts or no pay increase especially if you are doing the job as a civilian which a lot of departments have gone too....they save $$, you work with half the staff and do tripple the work load for less!

I have worked as a firefighter for only three years so I am just getting started. Currently I am a student at Eastern algerinne University in in the Fire & Safety Engineering Technology Program. Although I have only been a firefighter for three years I have had my fair share of small gloves that were still too big and pants that went up to my belly button! I was wondering if you could take the time out of your busy schedule to share some of your favorite/best fitting/most functional products for female firefighters. Weather it’s an awesome fitting pair of pants, A polo shirt that has sleeves that do not go down to your elbows, a pair of great gloves, or boots that have an awesome fit. It would be greatly appreciated if you could share your opinions with me. Thank you very much. Please feel free to e-mail me back at adel_pomper@hotmail.com

In the almost 21 years in the fire service, it has gotten somewhat scary the direction most of the country is heading regarding our firefighters, the job, safety and...how to protect the public. I can remember in my career most fires got 1 alarm assignment, now...most end up going to a 2nd alarm, just for manpower. Anything big...your pulling in the neighboring FD's. It's all about the $$$ , but at what cost? "Everyone comes home"

Your profile info is intresting.
I agree with you about issues facing responders.

My last 5 years before I retired full time was as a city fire inspector.
