This is a sad issue in the long history of Volunteer Fire Depts. Times are changing in communities where people no longer have the ability to drop what their doing to respond to an emergency. It would be nice of the Chief would try to keep volunteers that are available for a standby engine, as at any major fire, man power is a valuable tool. Hats off to all the previous volunteer's that provided assistance.

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
