Two Rivers, 30 Minutes for 5-16-2025
05-15-2025
Guests: Munhall No. 4 fire Chief Dan Rojtas and State Sen. Nick Pisciottano
How Topic Discussed: Working with a special state grant, a local volunteer fire department has created a pilot program to reimburse its members for responding to calls and staffing the local fire station. How did they develop the program? What metrics will they use to measure success? Why is the number of volunteers declining? How will this incentive program hopefully encourage people to join and stay with the volunteer fire department? What are the economic benefits of the volunteer fire service? What would Pennsylvania lose if it wasn't available?
