Funding & Staffing

A lieutenant at my fire department is currently in the School of Fire Staff and Command at a Michigan University. He asked me to post a survey that will be used as research for paper. The survey is quick and easy. The title of the paper will be “Developing tomorrow’s leaders today. A succession plan from buddy to boss.”

You just cannot make this stuff up! Allen Park to lay off entire Fire Department. That's right the entire department except for the Chief. Just in case you are wondering, Allen Park is small city just outside of Detorit with a size of 7 square miles. The best part of the whole story, is city officals do not have a backup plan to provide fire service!

Fishing and farming are more dangerous than firefighting????? , Police and Fire are not in the top 10 most dangerous jobs, (firefighters) most of the time they don't have much to do"?
