Dylan, this is pro quality. I served until I became disabled. This was the best thing I've seen to illustrate the reality of volunteers. Excellent work
This is an excellent video and is a shining light and shows the how and why volunteer firefighting isn't working. I feel that its not quite 100% fully the answer. I tried being a paid on call myself I did everything perfect passed all the tests accept for one that is required by the state. Its a 8 hour 600 question in total psychiatric evaluation of continuously the same questions asked by 6 different tests. After the test, they have a psychologist interview you for about an hour. So many people that can be qualified candidates get thrown out cause of this test required by the state its hurting the volunteer fire departments and paid-on-call sector. However, after they get thrown out so many of them end up joining the military just fine and have an outstanding tenure for the same service they could of done on a local level in their community with paid-on-call. Might just be my opinion and one change the state and local government could do away with that would help with recruiting for paid-on-call and volunteer fire fighting.
