Dear Member

Fire departments must be prepared at all times for all possible incidents. In this month's eNews, noted author Dennis Rubin discusses what it takes to have the apparatus in a state of operational readiness. We also explain the pros and cons of different ways to clear fire truck exhaust out of the bay.

Lastly, be sure to check out a new PSA that teaches drivers the correct way to get out of the way of approaching emergency vehicles.
