Mr. Tom Wells, Legal Counsel, stated that Fire District No. 2 has had a program for years, making sure about the notifications of minority’s and maybe Chief McCain can visit with Chief Paulk and give him some pointers.

Chief Paulk stated there are three fulltime firemen and two part-time firemen and a secretary. Everybody else is volunteers and anyone can volunteer, all they have to do is pass a background check.

Mr. Wells stated there are steps you can take to notify minorities and that is why it was suggested that Chief McCain get with Chief Paulk.

Mr. Richard Billings stated there were places all over Rapides Parish that would not be receiving fire protection if it was n’t for the Volunteer Firem en. There are places that would not even be able to get fire protection insurance if it were not for the dedicated service of the Volunteers across this Parish .
