From: Lachmont Names New Paid Chief, 12 Vol. Quit & Sue

[spike2231 38]

I agree. The walkout is disgusting and selfish. Do the volunteers really care about the community they serve, or their power and egos?  Is it the loss of power that is the problem? Why is this bad?

Wouldn't staying on, seeing how things work, and trying to reach a comfortable comprimise be a better and more rational solution?

I've heard some are using the old copout "union vs. volunteer", and that's just plain ridiculous. How are they demoralized? Don't they have career firefighters? Shouldn't professional firefighters have professional leadership? (Professional as meaning your occupation)

BTW, isn't Larchmont a wealthy community, filled with very significant and valuable hazards?
