When municipalities start cutting fire and police protection for it's residents- you KNOW the economy is bad and the outlook for affected citizens even worse.
LakeNewsOn-line.com says that the Mid-County Fire Protection District that covers 220-square miles – roughly 1/3 of Camden County – with six stations and responds to approximately 1,200 calls annually- is cutting one of it's only 10 full-time firefighters and closing 2 engine companies- among other cost-saving measures.
I would be VERY unhappy if I lived close to either of the 2 closing engine companies and hope this increasing trend of closing fire stations nationwide in response to The Recession (Depression) doesn't hit Metro Kansas City.
