I plan to publish a series of articles in 2012The articles will be published in the Public Safety Training Newsletter.  The focus of the articles will be "How Training Saved My Life."  We want these articles to showcase the importance of public safety training based on reality and not just concept. We are looking for compelling, personal stories from first responders who believe that the training they received in some way saved their lives during an emergency response. It is our hope that by telling these stories we can help to reinforce the importance of public safety training and build greater support for it. Please contact me if you have a story or know someone who does. Thanks Bill
