Having worked for a major metro EMS service, as well as a major metro Fire service, as well as presently being the Chief of a rural department, and president of our local Chiefs association, I can tell you - you are a dick.
But I digress. Lots of volunteer fire departments out there are doing tremendous jobs, espically in the rural world where they cannot afford the money to have paid people. Saving property, saving lives. Judging from your comment about being on digital yet, I presume you think that is the "thing". NFPA, as well as many other fire service groups are warning NOT to go digital yet, at least for fireground purposes at a minimum, due to the issues with digital vocoders. Have a nice day. Don't take your organs to heaven, heaven knows we need them down here!
