Staffing volunteer stations is a great idea and does work in som

Wildwood - Staffing volunteer stations is a great idea and does work in some places. An on-duty crew will always have a much better response time. The problem is there is too few volunteers left, especially those young and in condition to do the job. Families working two to three jobs or more while trying to raise a family and be involved with kid's functions just don't have the time required. I have heard some of the ideas floating around. You don't just take a course and magically become a trained, skilled firefighter. Without experience and constant training, all you have are liabilities.
