Capital Region Firefighter Recruitment Campaign exceeds goal

The Capital Region Firefighter Recruitment Campaign is seeing more success than they expected.

Just one year into their four-year-long recruitment campaign, 71 new volunteer firefighters have joined the program.

Their original annual benchmark goal was 50.

The recruitment initiative was created by leaders within the Capital Region Council of Governments (CapCOG), a voluntary collective body which united 21 fire companies within the East Shore, West Shore and Capital Region.
