The House bill passed at 268 to 160 (17 Republicans voting for the bill and 157 against). Only 3 Democrats voted against the House Bill.
The Senate bill failed. The vote was 57-42, short of the 60 votes in favor needed to proceed under Senate rules.

The Thanks of a Nation
Maybe it's the observation that many of the politicians who are quick to take credit for the nation's preparedness are slow to ever visit a fire station, or maybe it's my expectation that instead of having to beg for the table scraps that our law enforcement brethren leave for us, we might also get a seat at the main table, but I just don't see the fire service gaining the amount of respect that we deserve for the sacrifices we make.
