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 Very Happy

Ironic, I'm about a 10 minute drive from a Mt. Vernon fire department as well Very Happy

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.
