'Departments are strapped, we need help:' State faces shortage of volunteer firefighters

The high fire danger and smoky air are combining for a dangerous shortage of volunteer firefighters. The emergencies are out numbering the available crews and volunteer departments are being pushed to the limit. Crews with Riverside Fire in Puyallup said their numbers are dangerously low. "To be honest, volunteer departments are strapped and we need the help," said volunteer fire fighter Caleb Carr.

Mercersburg (PA) Fire Company Gets $142K Grant for Fire Apparatus

The fire company serving Mercersburg and the surrounding area has received a large grant from the Department of Homeland Security to cover the cost of new equipment. U.S. Representative Bill Shuster, R-Hollidaysburg, announced this past week that the MMP&W Volunteer Fire Company received a Department of Homeland Security Assistance to Firefighters Grant in the amount of $142,858.

"Serving three townships and borough is a difficult task, but it’s even more difficult when you don’t have safe equipment," said Rep. Bill Shuster, in a news release. "I’m excited to share the news that the volunteers of MMP&W will be receiving the necessary funds to acquire a new brush truck so they will be better able to serve Mercersburg and the surrounding area."

Wickliffe (OH) Fire Department Gets Hands-Free CPR Devices

Wickliffe firefighters soon will be using new hands-free lifesaving devices to perform CPR. Fire Chief James Powers said the department recently purchased two LUCAS 3 Chest Compression Systems. The LUCAS 3 Chest Compression System is a device that rescuers can fasten around a victim's chest and once applied, it delivers continuous, high-quality, consistent compressions.

It is designed to help improve outcomes of sudden cardiac arrest victims and improve operations for medical responders. Performing 102 compressions per minute with a depth of 2.1-inches, LUCAS can be deployed quickly with minimal interruption to patient care.

Powers explained that the device will free up a person’s hands for other emergencies.
