Good point Angel !
We have guys in my dept that show up once a month. But if he does what he has to at that call, I'm happy. Its getting tough for volunteer depts. Its not like it used to be. No longer small town USA where everyone lives and work in town. People have long commutes to work. I spend 3 hours a day driving back and forth to NYC. Family commitments have grown. Guys cant put the time in like they used to.
Also every FF has his "nitch" whether its an interior guy, a truckie, a driver and so on... some are cut out for certain jobs some are not.
