Reader Questions ‘Mutual Aid”

ridgewood_fire_department_theridgewoodblog

“And as ALWAYS the Ridgewood FD is there fighting the fire because we have a paid FD that is always on duty and all the surrounding towns get by with volunteers (when any are available). Now I am not saying that we shouldn’t help our neighbors, but come on people. We pay dearly for the privlege of having a fully paid fire department, which is an awesome benefit to living in this town. Why can’t our neighbors do the same?”
