Following the ceremony Cunningham said while the part-time fire fighting force dos an excellent job, there "pressure to augment the ae fire fighters with 'full time people." "It's a fairly significant issue during the day when a lot of the part-time people are out of town or can't leave « their full-time jobs," Cunningham said, adding that they continually moni- tor the key factor of response times to ensure there is an adequate level of service. When asked ifthere is any . common trait or characteris- tic among the part-time fire- men in Halton Hills, Cunningham said they all have two things in common. "They are dedicated and caring about the people in their community because it's * a tremendous commitment, « not only the number of alarms that they have to an- . swer, but there's tremendous _ pressure on them to keep up with their training and to | maintain the standards of that training," Cunningham | said.
