Top Issues Facing Responders:
LACK OF FUNDING!!!!!!!!!!!! The public also doesn't understand the reason we bill them for ambulance rides is to provide them with the services that we do. People also misunderstand that we are a taxi service. Please don't dial 911 when you stub your toe and have family that can take you to the hospital.
I Love Being in Fire/EMS Because:
The rush you get with good calls and the feeling after a save.
