In rural areas where population density is low and 12 calls for fire and EMS services are rare，it just doesn't 13 to have career firefighters on the staff 24/7 (全天候)． 14 ，volunteers are used to fill in the 15 ．We are ready to help someone on what is the worst day of their life. 16 we have never met before，and might never again，but it doesn't matter in a crisis. 17 volunteers，the whole system would collapse.

We volunteer because we know our 19 need us.We don't need a small tax break.Without one，we'll still put on our gear when the alarm goes off without any 20 ．But we'd appreciate one，and if it gets more people to join us，it's worth it.
