Darby Township (PA) shuts down volunteer fire company, takes fire trucks

https://youtu.be/qJJoU8VdWYg?si=CEWtq_0Vfy_LU0df

only 12 vols - they are missing calls - twp took their trucks away

many intelligent comments at YT

its a nationwide problem

my thoughts - if people want to volunteer as firefighters - and they
have the training - then you are throwing away money by hiring paid
guys - if no one wants to volunteer - and no one is responding to
calls - then changes have to be made

in this case - maybe they could have paid day guys - and vols and
students at night

Virginia seems to be doing the 'paid day guys' thing - with the
'county fire chief' in charge of the paid guys
