Here we would like to know the reasons behind your wish to join this Association. What do you expect to get out of joining this department? There is no financial gain to be expected since we do not get paid and at the present time we receive no special considerations from the town.

Training drills, business meetings, fire calls, ambulance calls, outside training, committee work and work details all take time. Is there enough time in your life schedule to add this commitment? It really is a commitment since your neighbors and your fellow firefighters are counting on you to be there when you're needed. When we're severely shorthanded at an emergency scene - either fire or medical - the additional strain on the personnel at the scene may lead to exhaustion and unsafe actions. Not only do more hands make the job lighter it makes this dangerous job safer.
