National Fire and Rescue Service

We should establish a National Fire and Rescue Service, to replace the individual Fire Departments around the country. I know this flies in the face of the current heroic Fire Departments around the world, however, many communities are lacking in adequate fire protection. The establishment of a National Fire and Rescue Service would ease the burden of funding adequate fire protection throughout the country. Plus, creating standardized training and equipment throughout. A Nation Fire and Rescue Academy to train Officers and a number of "Boot Camps" to train the rank and file fire fighter. Also the Establishment of a Fire Guard (the Fire Service equivilent of the National Guard as it augments the Army) basically a reserve arm of the National Fire and Rescue. This would decrease the Budgetary concerns of Local Governments while improving public safety.
