Twenty year veteran Alan Rufer takes off the gloves and separates fact from fiction, revealing the true status of the volunteer/POC fire service.

Inside this book you’ll find the answers to these questions: • Why volunteers are not joining your organization • What volunteer/POC firefighters think about their Officers • Why retaining your members depends on your training program • The truth about monetary compensation and why it won’t solve your recruitment problems. • What your members really think about those social events. • Why they join an organization. • The true impact of required training. • What really motivates your members? In addition, Alan includes his 5-step process for designing a successful recruitment program. If you are experiencing staffing problems, this book will provide you with the information necessary to design a recruitment program that works.
