Top Issues Facing Responders:
Getting back to and sticking with the BASICS, because they are basic.
Prompting Fire Chiefs to work more toward construction reform in the political arena and worry less about birthday parties in the firehouse, worry more about the members, their safety, and be accountable for bad decisions. I believe that Chiefs need to be more in touch with the members and what they need and their opinions.

Looking for this EMS gentleman.docxI am looking for the gentleman in the photo whom I believe lives in the area of Georgia. He has done nothing whatsoever wrong, nor am I chasing him for anything, but someone is operating in the UK on the pretence of being him and attempting to extort money from innocent people and I think he should know all about it. After all, this is not only an indictment on him but also on the trust people have in the EMS services (I refer to the attached photo displaying the EMS badge which has been deliberately used to promote his honesty). I know I would want to know if it was being done to me. So if you recognise him, can you please advise me or ask him to contact me directly at english.anniemoon@yahoo.co.uk or phone on 00 44 1566 770 751. If you or the gentleman in the photo would like to call me, I am happy to call you straight back and I will give him all the details on this matter.
