Comment by Ted Mead on September 2, 2018 at 1:06pm: community education on rubbish fires!

I feel there is a need for community education on rubbish or brush fires.

all too often we have responded to wild fires caused by rubbish and brush fires that were either unattended or placed too close to wooded areas or tall grass, and people not preparing for them properly!

given the dry conditions we've had its just a disaster waiting to happen.

responsibility is crucial but many people do not have the training for basic fire control and end up getting in trouble over it.

Comment by Jake Stoffer on February 23, 2010 at 8:42pm: A Note about myself.. I am currently with Cherrytree Twp. VFD in Venango County (station 2). I was previously with the Plainwell Dept. of Public Safety as a Public Safety Officer (Firefighter/Reserve Police Officer) for 5 years. I was full time, however, due to budget cuts was moved to part time/paid on call during the last 9 months I was employed there before I moved out of the area.
