End of Volunteer Fire Departments? 4/27/09
CBS 7 News Staff
April 27, 2009
One new piece of legislation could bring an end to many West Texas volunteer fire departments.
Dallas Area Representative Yvonne Davis put in 2 sections to House bill 3390 that would require the Texas Commission on Fire Protection to increase minimum educational and training standards for volunteer fire fighters.
Although it sounds good on the surface, it would require personnel to receive nearly 350 more hours of training and force departments to buy new equipment.
