The Wisconsin Office of Rural Health has produced a statewide report revealing that fire departments across Wisconsin, especially in rural areas, are facing serious challenges that threaten their ability to respond to emergencies. The report is based on contributions from 418 Fire Chiefs representing 52% of departments statewide. It highlights a growing crisis in staffing, funding, and training that could impact public safety if not addressed. EMS Outreach Program Manager James Small has the details.
