SA Firefighter

what the? this brigade we are talking about has a dedicated crew of voluntary members who put their families/work and day to day life on hold to service the local community & local area not to mention putting their own lives at risk to help in emergencies yes, we all agree response times are a factor but a slow response is better than none at all. We know that shutting brigades down will only put pressure on other resources else where. What will their response time be like if they have to travel longer distances to attend emergencies? The brigade has a rich history of over twenty years, it would be a shame to see the doors shut and capable members ousted for the sake of beauracratic processes, there must be another solution.
