Firewhirl: Volunteer Department Resigns Archives

Volunteer Department Resigns

This isn't good for the community of Bucoda, WA (from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer).

BUCODA -- Bucoda's fire chief and the entire volunteer fire department have resigned, citing irreconcilable differences with the new mayor, who won by just five votes last month.

This will really put the people of the community in a tight spot. The city will have to contract with other fire departments for fire protection which will cost a ton - probably more than they can afford.

The story contains few details so it is difficult to tell whether the action by the volunteers is justified or not.
