Fixed it for ya. I look at some volunteer departments in other states and it's a WORLD of difference.

and poor accountably, and poor command structure....

I agree Squirrel; I have some firefighter friends up in Pennsylvania, and it's absolutely amazing how professional and well equipped the volunteer depts are up there.

I bet you're correct. Oh, and if you want a good laugh, E32 & a couple other companies are fighting a grass fire around 8900 S Garnet, only one engine is stuck so far :lol: :wink:

EDIT: found some statistics: Almost three-fourths of the nation's 1.1. million firefighters are volunteers, and two-thirds of all fire departments are volunteer.
