  • I visit Cumberland every year for the past 5 years. Never saw a problem with the streets.

  • Visitors rarely go on the back streets, and the examples I have provided speak for themselves.

  • While a grant writing administrator is one solution I mentioned in the video, a Fire Corps chapter could also help with grant writing for the Fire Department.

    I can say that if a volunteer fire department is proposed it is more likely to be done under the guise of consolidating emergency services with the county, but you won't hear it from me.

  • One thing to keep in mind is the state of the city's finances. More money than what is paid for by taxpayers goes to Public Safety. I never advocated a volunteer fire department, rather, I would like to see the city pursue a fundraising effort that would pair an chapter of Fire Corps with a foundation that could channel money from fundraising efforts to the fire department.
