This is a very good article describing the current issues within the Fire Service today. We here at Mulvane are dealing with many of these same issues. Replacement fire truck prices have tripled in the last 10 years. Call volume has dramatically increased over just the last couple of years and we have reached the point where we need paid staff to supplement our volunteers. Residents of Mulvane will soon be asked to help support a sales tax to help with our funding. As always, our department is very appreciative of the support we have received from the community.

Discover why he believes fundamental changes are needed before departments are forced to deliver less with less.
