We Need Your Help!

Attention Middle Island Community,

OSHA is proposing updates to the “Fire Brigades” standard, which hasn’t been revised since 1980. Unfortunately, these changes could pose significant challenges for volunteer fire departments, making compliance burdensome or even impossible.

The proposed rules introduce strict standards for physical exams, equipment procurement, and emergency planning, which could exceed the capacities of many volunteer departments. This affects our ability to protect both our personnel and the communities we serve.

By signing the petition and submitting a comment, you can voice your concerns and help protect the interests of volunteer fire departments.
