Today In The Upper Cumberland: Firefighting

Fire Chiefs Benton Young and Tom Brown discuss the current state of firefighting

More firefighters needed. Bigger budgets needed. Staff shortages increasing. Public safety at risk. All it takes is a Google search of the national firefighting situation to understand it’s becoming more and more difficult to get people involved in firefighting. What about here at home? We put that question to Cookeville Fire Chief Benton Young, and Putnam County Fire Chief Tom Brown.
