Top Issues Facing Responders:

keeping up to date with changing products that change the fire load in housing, commercial, industrial and farming and wildland.
wildland urban intereface seems to be a growing problem with changing climates, dryer weather, getting the message out to all concerned on how to protect themselves, property and that its better to mulch then burn your debris. wish the professional magazines would cover more on wildland urban interface ! or setup a section for this like the do for extrication, structure fires, etc.
