Questions

In the next few years, if corrective action fails to be taken, we may be witnessing the collapse of fire and emergency services in the United States.

Fire departments are sounding the alarm, but there is little attention being taken by news outlets, the general public, or politicians.

What the public fails to realize time and time again, fire departments usually don't just handle fires, but they are multi-disciplined and respond to a wide array of emergencies, with medical emergencies being the largest call volume for those who respond to EMS calls.

Fleets are breaking down. New emergency vehicles are on a 4 year wait list. Compounding to the issue is the critical shortage of firefighters and other emergency service personnel.

The Texas Attorney General has launched an investigation probe into fire apparatus manufacturers for an alleged illegal anticompetitive scheme.

People MUST wake up right now.

I can't tell the difference between them. So the 3 day war as turned into 3 weeks,, then 3 weeks will turn into 3 months , then 3 months will turn into 3 years. Come on , $6 a gallon gas is little to pay for US to set up US Banks in Iran. It is little to pay to free the Iranian people or what is left of them. The same people bitched a storm when Gas was $5 under Biden. The world was going to end and economy collapse. But $6 a gallon is a blessing now.
