This is great work! Just can’t believe we need ta bill to be able to do something like that? On another note it amazes me why nobody is focusing on the dwindling number of volunteers firefighters in the state.....

There have been numerous initiatives introduced over the past few years to encourage volunteerism and recruitment and retention as well as many media articles shedding light on the issue. The problem is, you can't legislate volunteerism. People either want to volunteer or they don't.

Who comes up this legislation? I love my animals and would do just about anything for them. But isn't there some more important things like working to make sure there are volunteers around. Seems to me if there is no one around your legislation is worth as much as the paper it's written on

Amen. We need a solution. We need all members covered at a reasonable cost. My department pays 60k a year.
