Best Fire Dept.?

Brother's and Sisters,
I will soon have the opportunity with my job to move anywhere in 50 United States that I want. And since I'm a volunteer firefighter i've decided to move to the best fire dept. location.
For this I need your help.
You can submit your dept., a neighboring dept., or any that you know of. But there are a few requests.
#1. It must be a great dept. to volunteer for. Since I'm moving for this reason, I don't want to go to a bad dept. Now I understand that every dept. will have it's problems but the less the better.

#2. It must be at least a volunteer dept., or combo will be ok too. 1 required duty shift wil be ok too, I tend to favor just volunteer- but I think I can meet 1 day per week duty shift.

#3. Fire/EMS/Rescue depts. will be considered a plus.

4. Tell me what makes this dept. so good. (Fellow Firefighters, Equipment, Community, Local Govt. Support?)

Ant and all info will be appreciated. P.S. STAY SAFE!!!

To many to list on here I'm sure cause all I can say about ours is, It is a combo Department, we are assigned to a duty crew one night a week and some stations have different requirements for weekends my station has a rotating crew weekend where you are "in service" for the whole weekend. the pay is good with in-service incentives.
My Department is Washington Township Fire Department in Montgomery County Ohio.
In the end there are so many good Departments in this country, Research would probably be your best bet, I used
firedepartments.net to find the one I am at now.
