DETROIT, Mi. (My TV20 News at 10) --- How fast and how prepared are fighters and EMTs when they respond to a call at your home, work or school?
In a tight economy, these specialized jobs might be at risk - meaning fewer people to respond and that it might take them longer to get to you.
So Michigan's Professional Firefighters organized a day to show you how difficult, demanding and stressful their jobs are.
Tonight on My TV20 News at 10, Kila Peeples dons the gear of a firefighter to find out and report for you first hand.
