Why I Love Fire/EMS

This is truly one of the LAST fields where the Public Service is at.

Top Issues Facing Responders:

Politics. To many agencies are becoming bogged down in political rhetoric that hampers the jobs of Fire. Costs of Equipment. It seems that if it has a "fire" label of sorts attached to it, the price goes up regardless.
