Video: Worst fire department in the United States

Videos

In a 280 square mile area of Josephine County, Oregon we have no public fire district, so because of this we have 3 private fire departments who compete for contracts. This video shows one of them in action, the Grants Pass Rural Fire Department (not to be confused with the City Of Grants Pass Fire Department). Many people in this area consider this "so-called" fire department the worst of the worst. The county commissioners have tried repeatedly on closing them down and the County Sheriff will NOT let them run Code 3 for calls.
