Is your department going under the knife? FirefighterCloseCalls.com wants to hear from you.
We have been running the stories from all over the country. Now FireCloseCalls.com wants the data. Read this invitation from Chief Billy Goldfeder to share your pain for the common good:
Tell us about your FIRE DEPARTMENT BUDGETS CUTS? STAFFING CUTS?
We are compiling information on FD cuts during these tough economic times. Your info and who you are remains anonymous…we don’t care who you are or what your e-mail address is, if you see any articles or have any details on FD budget cuts, brownouts, layoffs, staffing reductions–anything related, send details, article links or just cut’n paste it to us at: staffing@firefighterclosecalls.com
Anything that has affected or will impact 2009 and the future fiscal picture of any FD (career or volunteer) … we are interested in. We don’t care where it is from. USA, Canada, wherever… Just send what you have to: staffing@firefighterclosecalls.com
We have an old friend who is a FD statistics expert and he is going to compile the info by area, community etc and then we’ll post it in an overview type of format. Who knows, the info may be of help to one FD to another etc…and THAT’S the goal. Thanks! The Crew at www.FireFighterCloseCalls.com.
