    Ash, we are about 9 hours North of LA on the Oregon coast. Actually we are the first town in Oregon from the California border.

    Thanks for replying to my blog regarding Auxiliary Information. What I am looking for is, our Department currently has three status' for membership, Active FF, Associate FF and Administrative Members. Because we have them set up this way our Admin members are required to do some training activities. We have a very limited roster of FFs, I am currently the Fire Police for the department. We had a gentlemen approach the department wanting to be a member to only perform Fire Police duties, so it would prevent me from having to direct traffic and then I could use my skills and training to actually fight fire or provide patient care.

    He also helps out a couple of the other departments in the area with traffic control and photography. We were told that if we wrote a short amendment to our Constitution adding an Auxiliary membership status that we could put our Fire Police under that and they wouldn't be held to the training standards like our Active FFs or Admin members.

    I am sure I have rambled a little but I have been having a difficult time trying to figure out how to word it for our Constitution. I just have way too many things going on. LOL

    Thanks again for offering your advice. TCSS ~Tammy~
