| Forest gets support for Live-In program - The Forest Volunteer Fire Department has met with and received support from State Rep Mike Piefer, Senator Lisa Baker, the Pike County Commissioners, Lackawaxen Township Supervisors, Lackawaxen Township Fire Commission, as well as Lackawanna College and Woodloch Pines. The Live-In program will create a situation where Forest will offer free housing to college students and firefighting professionals where in return they will also become volunteers for the fire department. The end result will be added coverage and reduced response times. This program will be a huge addition for the community and will create a "Paid Firefighters" situation for free. The program already operates successfully in many other states and as close as Lancaster County. |
