Police officers put their lives on the line every day to protect our communities, but so do firefighters and now they're facing a more hostile environment than ever before. Leaders within the Phoenix Fire Department say that not a day goes by that a firefighter isn't assaulted in some way across the Valley, whether it's by weapons, fists or even being spit on by someone. In Phoenix, they answer thousands of calls a year and they can never let their guard down. On one call, they say they were told the home was clear only to dodge gunfire when they went inside. Captain Larry Subervi says people often associate firefighters with police officers because they respond to so many scenes together.
