Attention chiefs and PIOs: Each year, Firehouse publishes three surveys to help fire departments compare statistics including personnel, budgets and response data. The Combination Run Survey focuses on fire departments with a mix of career and volunteer firefighters. The Volunteer Run Survey shares details of the largest segment of the fire service. The National Run Survey is for career departments. Choose the survey that best fits your department and become part of the survey.

Stay safe!
