 So pretty much OPEN PROTOCOL for everything.  Question:  should we see OPEN PROTOCOL for EMS, FIRE responses?  Remember back when fire responses began in cities with horse and carriage with water tanks and hand pumped hoses... (firemen then were BADASS) and if you were a paid member of your local FD response area they responded to your fire.  If you weren't a paid member, well your structure burned.  That's seriously how it went, and the first insurance company started that way.

Now look at the rent seeking insurance behemoth industry that lies, frauds and cheats homeowners out of legit claims (ex. Florida).  Let's figure out something better.  Retired first responders have a lot left to give: ideas, planning, experience.  How can we help you all in the next generation build this?  Love to watch except we need all hands on deck for this.  Anyone?
