I am having allot of problems with the department I am on.
There are only 14 members on the department, which only maybe 5-7 are active. The others want to be an officer, but only come to the meetings to bitch and complain. Most of there havnt been on a scene in 5 years now or more.
All the trustees are over 55 years old and sitting on at least $120,000.00 thinking we have to fight fire with money.
The trucks we have are in the 1980's and there as NEVER been any up dates since then.
The hoses are all old, never been tested, trucks are not serviced like there surpossed to. And there is so much more to list.
Another thing, as far as training, we no longer have a "training officer" the department told who ever want to go for more training to go outside the department and get your training.
I have so many goals and dreams for this department, but I cant get anything done because mostly all of them are still back in the 1960-1980's style of firefighting.
Could someone please help me with some ideas, and thought to how to go about making this department succeed.
Any other Ideas can be emailed to me at [email protected]
Thank you so much for your time reading this.
