lack of new fire fighters

Posted on September 28, 2007 at 9:19pm 1 Comment

i've noticed sence i've been on the department that the dream of being a firefighter is not all that it used to be. kids now days dont dream about beeing a fireman. and the kids that did dream of it dont dream of it any more. so there is lack of intrest. so the departments suffer with out personell and calls dont get made. so pepole dont get the help thay need.

Interesting observation about the lack of aspiring firefighters. In Australia there' been a lot of concern raised about how to entice members to join and then to retain them. Don't know the answer....
