How would you define success in a volunteer department? Would it be recruiting and retention? Or how about solid leadership? Maybe response time? Today, we're going to talk about a department that meets all of those criteria. It's called Ulster Hose Company 5, and it's found in New York's Hudson Valley near the city of Kingston. Ninety members respond from their homes. And they cover 1,500 calls a year with an average time to response of 3 minutes. If you're struggling just to get members to show up for runs, you'll want to pay attention. Back again on Code 3 to explain how they do it is Ed Dolan. He's been studying Ulster Hose 5 and has some interesting insights. Ed's a member of the Catskill Fire Department in New York for 30 years, and he's served more than half that time as a chief officer. Shabw Heppner is Chief of Ulster Hose Company 5.

In the third episode in the Universal Basic Income (UBI) series, we explore the libertarian arguments for UBI. These range from deeming private charity a market failure, a preference for UBI over the welfare state, and UBI as a necessary bulwark against coercion.Please 'Subscribe' and leave a 5-star review.

What qualifies someone to be a battalion chief? If they're in a career department, it's pretty clear. They need a specific amount of experience, they have to pass a written test, and probably an oral board of some kind.But what about volunteers? That's a whole ‘nother deal. The volunteer BC may simply have more “time in grade” before being allowed to promote. This may be a person who shows up for more required training days and more responses than others. But does that qualify someone to run a fireground? Is it time to start testing candidates for the battalion chief – and higher – ranks? Back again to discuss that with me is Ed Dolan. He's been a member of the Catskill Fire Department in New York for 30 years, and he's served 16 years as a chief officer. Support this podcast
A lot of volunteer fire departments are worried about the dwindling number of new recruits. But what about holding onto the members already in the ranks? That takes a little effort and it may require some structural changes, too. It may be necessary, though, because turnover is the enemy of a solid volunteer department. Here to discuss that with me is Ed Dolan. He's been a member of the Catskill Fire Department in New York for 30 years, and he's served 16 years as a chief officer. Support this podcast
