In Washington, the D.C. Fire & EMS Department is making radical changes to the structure of the department to become a "fully integrated, all-hazards agency."

Do you have similar inequality issues and concerns in your department? Should EMS and Fire be seperated as indicated by Kenneth Lyons, EMS Union president for DC Fire/EMS?
