A Fourth of July Message from U.S. Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. "Soon after it [a fire] is seen and cry'd out, the Place is crowded by active Men of different Ages, Professions and Titles who, as of one Mind and Rank, apply themselves with all Vigilance and Resolution, according to their Abilities, to the hard Work of conquering the increasing fire."- Benjamin Franklin, 1733

Firefighters and police officers, like Democrats and Republicans, have long been in a red-blue debate that pits guns versus hoses. Flexing their badges and touting their bona fides, each side insists it is the stronger service for public protection. Thank you to those of you who attended the 20th Annual National Fire and Emergency Services Dinner and Seminars in addition to the 1st Annual Fire and Emergency Services Showcase o the National Mall.

To draw greater awareness to the issue, three highly distinguished EMS physicians recently released a report titled, Prehospital 911 Emergency Medical Response: The Role of the United States Fire Service in Delivery and Coordination (click here to download report). CFSI will provide copies of the report to federal lawmakers and Administration officials as part of their efforts to help policy makers in Washington, DC better understand how they can address the needs of fire service-based EMS in this country. The coalition also produced a video, “Fire Service-Based EMS: The Right Response to complement the white paper. To order a copy of the video, contact CFSI at update@cfsi.org.
