There have been some rumors about the VA in Montrose. I have heard that it may be closing in the next few years. This makes me wonder about the stability of this position. Is there any more information any one can provide? Would this be a stable job (as stable as any other job I mean)? I know there is no guarantee with any job that it will be around forever, especially with government fire departments. Is there any possibility that the department may be downsized or would the firefighters just be transferred to Castle Point?? Just lookng for more info and it would be appreciated. Thanks.
