    What would you do?...

    In your state, if a medic is present are they required to "tech"? I understand the arguement you make for wanting to be in the back since she was female, but is it allowed? In AR, a paramedic is required to take the call regardless of circumstances if they are present and the unit is ALS (which...

    Taxes

    In OK they have a firefighter tax credit for career and volunteer fire as long as you meet the ceu requirement but thats all I know for AR, OK, and MO. I have never heard of any federal cut due to it.
