As a volunteer firefighter (and married to one, as well), I'd like to suggest you remember that we're all professionals.  Some of us just get paid for it.

You might want to consider expanding your survey to all firefighters.  We're all exposed to the same chemicals, the same dangers...and at various levels of protective clothing / equipment.
