St. John's — Fire fighters from across the province slammed the provincial government, during a forum on Saturday, for not providing adequate funding to rural fire departments. They say fire service in much of the province is at an all-time low. The firefighters messages were the same: not enough training nor equipment provided to small fire departments. The issue has been ongoing for several years, says Gambo volunteer fire fighter, Randy Kean, and it's getting worse.
