The Rural Responders Podcast

This podcast is for all of the responders in rural areas and for the citizens in rural areas as well. Often our fire and ambulance companies are overlooked, much to the detriment of their service to the community. We want to give people an idea of what it is like volunteering at, working for, and being served by, a fire department in a rural area. We also want to get as many people involved in volunteering as are willing, whatever your local fire department may be.
