13 things you can do to kill a volunteer fire company:
15 years ago
1.Don't attend trainings or meetings, but if you do, arrive late.
2.Be sure to leave before the meeting is over.
3.When at a business meeting, vote yes to everything and then do nothing to help.
4.The next day (or after the meeting) find fault with your board of directors and officer...s.
5.Take no part in volunteer company business.
6.Do not pay attention at training. Stay in the back and talk to another member (noone will notice).
7.Show up for the fires, but nothing else.
8.Talk cooperation, but don't cooperate.
9.If you are asked to help, always say you are too busy.
10.Never read anything pertaining to the organization or the fire service in general. You might learn too much.
11.Never accept an office; it is much easier to criticize than actually do anything.
12.If appointed to a committee, never give it any time. Let the chairman do all the work.
13.Don't do anything more than the bare minimum. Then when others willingly and unselfishly use their ability to help the cause scream and yell that the VFD is run by a clique.
