Top Issues Facing Responders:

low funding for the county fire dept. want to be firefighters. they want to be firefighters but they want show up at trainnings and meetings and calls so whats the point of being a firefighter if there not going to show up to pertisapate.do not want to help with fund raising events.want come to the station during a tornado warnings because there wifes are scared of storms.not being able to run red lights and sirens on povs to us get to fires and to the fire hall quicker to get a truck.it never failes u will get behind a slow poke going to slow and u cant pass them because of no passing lanes
