When the full-time Chief was hire his position was based on him do3ng <br />the training. When the Deputy Chiefwas hired. his position wasjustified by him doing thetraining <br />Now they want to hfre a full time training officer I am not fpf this as €� is building a FULL TIM� fire <br />Department one person at a time.
