Hi CFS_Fire32, Rescue5271 and others,
I’m sorry to hear that a few of you are disappointed with Volunteer mag.
In producing Volunteer we use submissions from volunteers and brigades whenever possible, particularly if they are unusual or uncommon.
In fact, it’s great when stories are submitted. That’s why we post messages on this website (see first message on this thread), on the promotions unit site and the yahoo chat group asking for submissions. The front of every magazine also provides contact details to submit stories.
All I can think of is that the stories / photos etc are not getting to me as editor for whatever reason, which is disappointing.
Some brigades send in stories for every edition, which would be why they have an ongoing presence.
Feel free to give me a call on the media line or email me at
[email protected] if you've got a concern about material not being received.
Also - the December edition of Volunteer has gone to the printers and will be out in hard copy before Christmas and available on the CFS website this week. I'll put a post on this site when it's available.
Krista
