| I hail from the great state of Kentucky, in a sleeply little town called Mt Vernon. I'm on the Mt vernon Fire and Rescue. We are an all volunteer department and the busiest in the county (avg 300 calls a year). |

Welcome aboard to the board
Ironic, I'm about a 10 minute drive from a Mt. Vernon fire department as well
The department I'm joining is all volunteer also, and averages about 95 calls per year... |

Yep, most of our calls are for the interstate. Since we are the only dept in the county that does extracation we cover the entire county for wrecks with entrapment.

Well, I don't see anything changing here for a while, a large part of it here is politics.
