Thank you.
Thank you all so much for being here and sharing that important information with us today.
I want to start off by saying that you talked about not being about to compete with mainstream, that you just want to be paid adequately, not well. I was thinking how many groups of people would say something like that. I definitely hope to see that reviewed and changed.
You also talked today about a lack of standard equipment and regional disparity. We know that in many areas there are limited infrastructure amenities for firefighters. We have heard of communities without fire trucks or even access to water.
Could you tell us what infrastructure concerns you face regularly and what top three priorities you have for the federal government?
