Maine Volunteer Firefighter Shortage, a Share from WABI TV 5.

I saw this article also shared on the Lebanon Fire Department, Inc. page, but I wanted to share it here too.
There is so much information contained in this brief article that I thought it was necessary to share in our town. The article includes information on how much training it takes to actually put on the suit of a Volunteer Firefighter in Maine today! And it doesn't stop. Most of the Volunteers who actually stay on, and become Firefighters, continue on to further their knowledge and training.
I think this article is fantastic and gives you a whole new perspective on what it takes to put on that turn out gear and head out to fight fires!!
