Brian,

Thanks for posting this video about the Orlando Fire Department and the importance of fire station staffing and response times. I shared it with my firefighter friends at the Tulsa IAFF. They too are going through budget cuts.

Ashley,

Thanks for the note and for sharing a link to this video.

While supporting overall budgetary constraint, those in America's Fire Service want to make sure decisions regarding local agencies receive not only the scrutiny of public officials but most importantly, the unbridled input of those they are sworn to serve.

One of the best ways to understand the concerns and capabilities of your local firefighters, is to visit a Neighborhood Fire Station.

Respectfully Yours in Safety and Service,
