HEMPFIELD SUPERVISORS APPROVE FIRE DEPARTMENT PART-TIME PAID DAY-SHIFT DRIVERS

Hempfield supervisors approved seeking part-time paid day shift drivers for the fire department.  The Trib reports that the vote at a recent meeting was 3-2 in favor of approving the position, and it is now posted on the county’s website.  The drivers, who will earn $16 to $20 per hour, must be able to operate the fire truck and other essential equipment to suppress fire, rescue endangered individuals, provide care to the ill and injured and help with maintenance and inspection of fire equipment.  The township will look to hire two to four drivers with the $81,000 budgeted for this year for the hire.
