The president of the International Association of Fire Fighters says fire fighters to have to become more involved in the political process.
Harold Schaitberger told the opening of the Atlantic Region meeting of the I-A-F-F at the Trade and Convention Center that fire fighters have to work with decision makers in places like Oromocto and Saint John where departments are under review to ensure departments maintain levels of staffing for the safety of both fire fighters and the communities they serve.
