To the Cold Spring spouter about consolidating the L.T.

Lower Township - To the Cold Spring spouter about consolidating the L.T. fire departments: So each FD runs about 200 calls per year. That's within three of the L.T. FDs. Now you want the same group of people who do 200 calls per year to now respond to 600 calls per year? In addition to that, many of the firefighters would have to respond further away from their houses, slowing response time and costing more money in fuel. I challenge you to join the FD and run even 200 calls per year, train and maintain a family. Your idea would reduce volunteerism, and eventually increase taxes to make a paid FD.
