Treasure of the Sierra Madre with Humphrey Bogart

From rural Nebraska: the bigger problem, related to response, is the number of basics we have in town. If we're around our response is excellent. Being a volunteer in a small rural fire department is requiring more and more committment of time, training etc. Its harder and harder to get folks to take the training, clinical time and continuing ed and juggle other committments, family etc. Our response could be pretty bad if we have people out of town etc. Tough issue, not related to if rural or urban is faster, better trained or more committed; its what we ask of volunteers in today's busy world.
