As wildfires rage out of control on the west coast, local volunteer fire departments are looking to find firefighters. Luxemburg Area Fire Chief Lew DuChateau says that state-mandated training is required and the demand is for more daytime help. He shares the process of becoming a firefighter.
DuChateau says training has a different look this year with the COVID-19 pandemic. Firefighters break up in smaller groups to help maintain social distancing and following all safety procedures put in place since late March. Luxemburg Fire & Rescue has about 30 volunteers working in the department.
