The Municipality of East Hants , along with its 13 fire departments, has released a recruitment video calling for volunteers to join its ranks. As Megan King reports, the effort looks to increase the roster of available supports in the region – something departments across the province need.Increasing that roster would allow for better odds of getting good response at any time of day — to everyone’s benefit.
“Our typical numbers are anywhere from one to five new people who may show an interest in the fire service,” said Wood. “Of those five people, say in any given year, you may only retain one or two.”With volunteers aging out of service or moving out of the area, there’s a constant need for fresh blood to replete the responders that the community is losing.
“Having volunteers being able to respond to emergency services is important for our residents and delivering the services that are needed and expected by our residents.”Listeria fears spur recall of T&T meat and vegetable products“The fire chiefs had brought forward the suggestion of creating a recruitment video, so the council put it in this past year’s budget and we’ve supported it along the way,” said Clarkson.
“This is a really great community, all of East Hants, and so to be able to give back is a small thing. But it’s a big thing.”All 787 Dreamliners should be grounded, Boeing whistleblower warnsSask. Premier Moe responds to Trudeau warning that CRA will come for carbon price payment
