Spouts about firefighter stipends for volunteers in the Wildwood

Wildwood - Spouts about firefighter stipends for volunteers in the Wildwoods are misleading. The volunteers are not receiving stipends for a job well done. The stipend play is to attract volunteers which are becoming extinct on the island. There are so few, qualified volunteers that they have resorted to paying volunteers to join. The problem is that there is a nonexistent pool to draw from. Many applicants are coming from offshore just for the money. In 10 years time, the average age of volunteers that are left will be 65. We have paid departments because relying on volunteers is unsustainable.
