That's a very bold statement to make with regards to the hazards of the profession. The profession is often labeled as a " brotherhood." The nature of the " job " requires a certain trust when the bell rings, tones drop, or whatever method is used to send you on the way to answering the call.</p> Fri, 25 Sep 2009 16:03:31 -0400 Pay attention...Safer Grant/Fire http://archive.thecitizen.com/node/39260 <p>The Peachtree City Fire/Rescue Dept. was just awarded a grant from the Federal government to allow for the hiring of 6 personnel. These personnel will help the department reach a goal of placing 2 personnel on each apparatus to respond to the needs of the community.....so we are told, as long as enough volunteer personnel are at the stations when a call comes in.</p> Thu, 10 Sep 2009 12:39:45 -0400
