Excerpts from wrex.com:
The Harlem-Roscoe Fire Department will transition to a full-time department starting Aug. 1. It’s a move that’s been in the works for more than a year. They’ll have ten personnel working around the clock, along with additional staff available to come in and help when needed.
The department has to follow stricter training guidelines, which will help attract and retain more firefighters, an issue for the department that used to contract from an outside company.
The full-time staff will be sworn-in next Monday, July 22, at 5:30 p.m. at Harlem-Roscoe Fire Dept. Station #3. The change will officially take effect Aug. 1.
