Any tax benefits given to volunteer EMS personal?

I almost forgot, in New York State, it used to be, if one had at least 5 years as a volley fire fighter, it exempted you from Jury Duty. As stated, that is no longer the case, with the law having only been changed in the last decade or so.

Please don't use this as fuel to bash either vollies or fire fighters.
