Northern Plains Fire: Firewhirl Weblog:
Day Eight: What's Next?

Here is the link to day 8 on the LI firefighters. It deals with what is next for the entire firefighting system on Long Island.

Long Island is the last densely populated region in America served almost exclusively by volunteers, but the system here is showing signs of strain.

Though they are among the best-funded, best-trained and best-equipped in the nation, fire departments here are falling prey to many of the same problems that have plagued agencies nationwide.


Check out this 8+ day account on what is going on in Long Island with the Volunteer Fire Service. There are links to articles detailing what is going on with the whole debate.
