I think its about 26-27 for volenteer fire, 25 for EMS, and getting tired of the non practical and not aplicatable crap handed down from way up the line. Not to mention homeland security and there new blue tank thinking. They are going to get rid of all the small town departments soon. I certianly aprove of saftey measures, but the stupidity of our state capital seems to be getting worse. Just got back a few munites ago from EMS call and there was two of us. I was the only one for three out of the first five this year. For a town of 700 we are out of ideas to find new recrutes. How do some of you other units get some one to volenteer. We advertize that starting pay is at the same level as 25 yr veterans. Also how many of your units have the blue tanks already, or when do you feel you will be going that route? Many things trouble me, but the insurance has finaly got to the half way mark of our total yearly budget. Dave NE IA
