I reminded her that smaller cities generally<br />
don’t have this problem.<br />
What I didn’t have the opportunity<br />
to mention was what has changed in the<br />
fire service in the last 30 or 40 years. We<br />
have added many completely new areas<br />
of responsibility added to our workload,<br />
including:<br />
• Wildland responses<br />
• Hazardous Materials responses<br />
• Homeland Security-Terrorism<br />
response and training<br />
• EMT training, then Advanced<br />
Life Support<br />
• Public Education including<br />
NERT<br />
• Urban Search and Rescue<br />
(USAR)<br />
• Specialized training, high angle,<br />
trench and confined space rescue<br />
operations<br />

of this, some people including us need<br />
to be reminded of that.<br />
