Glad to see this emblem on site, I'm retired from fire service, but was Vice President of the WV Professional Firefighter Association.
paul Comment by paul on March 23, 2008 at 5:31pm
our town committee just recently passed a thing that states that the full time members who are working a shift have to respond to all ems assists no matter what the call is.I think that this is a smart thing to do because alot of the times the fd can arrive on scene before the police or the ambulance can because we have six fire stations that cover the whole town.
