Pay attention...Safer Grant/Fire

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.
The department has done a tremendous job in year's past to make sure that every emergency is handled, while always operating below national standards. The members of the organization work side by side to accomplish tasks and to ensure the safety of each other. These new positions will hopefully be filled by experienced,knowledgable,and trusted individuals. The hiring of personnel lies with the administrative staff of the fire dept. and the Human Resources department within the city. The hiring process must be difficult as many certified people apply with many certifications. QUALIFIED and certified are two different things entirely. Pay attention.......
