yeah we might get a stipend but that is part of the losap program initiated by the state of new jersey to retain the volunteer fire, ems & rescue squads. our stipen cost $140,000.00 per year that is not even two career firefighters salaries & that amount of money is for a 63 person volunteer fire department.
the fire chiefs have town vehicles that are used to respond to fires, they have their equipment in the vehicles and they do the size up of the fire and if they hold the units at the firehouse because their is no need for the fire equipment they are preventing putting a $500,000.00 piece of fire equipment with personel and jeapordizing their life for no reason. the member signs in because he came to the call with intent of responding. the bottom line is that we are able to do our job and return to our families safe & secure.
the other morning we had a fire on olympia ave yeah we resonded with three engines and a ladder truck & one mioni pumper, just from the cliffside park VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPT, mutual aid was called for reasons of the rules and regulations enforced on us by the state for rapid intervention teams additional manpower in case the fire becomes two large to handle that the resorces are at our finger tips.
