Fire departments across the country can make their voices heard by participating in the Third Annual State of the Fire Service Survey.

The survey is sponsored by the Fire and Emergency Manufacturers and Services Association and FIRE CHIEF magazine. This year's questions focus on fire department issues concerning large-scale disasters such as hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, weapons of mass destruction and many others.

All participating departments will qualify for a chance to win $5,000 worth of equipment from any FEMSA member companies. To take the survey, go to www.femsa.org/survey
