So are the ones in L.A. On Christmas Eve this year we took homemade cookies to our local fire house and police station for the guys who were away from their families that night.

Thank you

Oh yeah, and when the schizophrenic down the street is off his meds and becomes violent, the fire dept is much closer and gets to him sooner. They bring an EMT with them. The police are there for security and the ambulance takes him away to the hospital.

Personally, I'm fine with my taxes going to that. Much better than some of the bullshite programs I support.
