While our recent coverage of the fire service in Frederick County, Maryland has focused on the comments at a Board of County Commissioner’s meeting about ambulance staffing, there is a wider view. What is really behind all of this is the relationship between volunteer and career forces in the county and the structure of the fire service for the future.
The commissioners recently rejected many recommendations in a consultant’s report outlining a county department run by a chief. The vote on the TriData report was in early October.
The Frederick County Volunteer Fire & Rescue Association was then asked by the commissioners to come up with an alternate plan. It was presented last night.
