Over 65% of the nation's firefighters are volunteers. 100% of Delaware County's firefighters are volunteers. 

Volunteer memberships are declining, fire departments are struggling to keep fully staffed. Undermanned fire and rescue puts our communities at risk. The rural areas of our county are hit especially hard by the volunteer firefighter shortage.
