Michael Gilliam, General Manager Volunteer help needed SFECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE Volunteer Fire Departments in Forsyth County are actively seeking new members - men and women who want to learn new skills, form lasting friendships and make a difference in their community. These fire departments cover all of Forsyth County except for Winston-Salem and Kernersville. Volunteer ranks have dropped about 20 percent in recent years because of changes in employment patterns and other population shifts that impact the ability of volunteers The result is that these departments are forced to sup plement their volunteer crews with paid personnel That increases the cost of fire protection but is neces sary to maintain staffing and comply with insurance regulations. "Volunteer fire departments have proven to be the most economical way to provide fire protection, and during the current economic conditions we want to ensure we can maintain the same level of service at the same cost," said Matthew Guffey, an engineer with the Lewisville Fire Department. Volunteer firefighters respond to fires, traffic acci dents and other emergencies in their coverage areas. Calls have steadily increased, up five percent last year, and residents throughout Forsyth County rely on these dedicated men and women to protect their property. The firefighters feel justifiable pride in their service and knowing that when they respond to a call, they are putting others first. While most volunteers have other full-time careers, some use this initial training as a springboard to becoming a career firefighter Interested applicants don't need expertise - just a desire to learn. All the training and equipment is paid for, and the commitment after certification is typically only a few hours a week. Firefighters don't have to live in an area served by a volunteer fire department. Residents of Winston-Salem and Kernersville are also encouraged to apply. The Forsyth County Fire Department's new web site - http://www.forsythfire fighters.org/ - uses an applicant's address to match him or her to the closest volunteer fire department. In Memory of Wesley Y. Johnson August 13,1946 September 22, 2009 I In secret I weep, in silence I cry as each lonely hour and day passes by. There's only one thought that eases my pain, and it's knowing that we'll be together again. I hold you close within my heart and there you will remain, to walk with me throughout my life until we meet again. Your mother, Alice
