Fire prevention and education must be at the forefront of our strategy. It should be one of the first things recruits learn in the academy, the top of our priorities for our communities with both children and the elderly, and be relied upon for reducing firefighter injuries and deaths.<br /><br />If we don&#39;t have a fire to respond to, we won&#39;t be out on the streets running too fast with lights and sirens, therefore reducing our exposure and risk.ChiefTaylornoreply@blogger.com
