[sub]Good questions. No one is saying much, staffing for this station is on hold because of the budget. It will sit empty and used for training until $$$ for manpower is found. Meantime, I will ask to get your answers.[/sub]

Bruce,



I guess you didn't hear... No training will be held at FS42. When the county went to Facilities to see if they could, they kindly told them "no way" because it was not designed for that purpose or that kind of people traffic. Their was a rumor out there that until the county got $$$ for career staffing the volunteers might staff it full time. However, I think that got canned pretty quick though with union issues, etc. I think it would be cool to see though, but I honestly don't see it happening at all. I don't think the volunteers could meet the challenge for 24/7 honestly (and PLEASE don't think I'm turning this in to a career vs. volunteer debate, remember this is all coming from a county volunteer too!). Would it be cool? Heck yea. Likely? Not a chance. Again, not trying to start an argument, but just MY PERSONAL OPINION.
