This is an EXCELLENT idea and an EXCELLENT opportunity.  It's been done in many other places across the country as well.

 

A chance to further your education

A chance to serve this community

A chance to have a place to live at no cost

A chance for those interested in the fire service to continue while going to school

 

A WIN/WIN for ALL. I just wish they had something like this when I was younger.

I once approached the chief of an upstate NY fire dept about starting such a program. Their firehouse then had sufficient room for attendees. His response was, "We don't need none of you a&%#@!* college f&%$@#* !!! At the time, I was already a qualified pump operator in my home volunteer fd. Wish I had a buck for every time their siren went off and I would go to buff and wait,and wait,and wait for them to respond. Given the national trend, I'm sure they're still short handed. A case of LOSE/LOSE unfortunately.

Prime example of live in program Prince Georges County Maryland  Collage Park Co.12 & Branchville Co11 have live in programs I believe others as well Note Collage Park Co 12 has excellent  dorm space for the live in's  If anyone's in the area stop on in they were very receptive to us when we stopped by while visiting my sister at UofM college park

 It was a Lose/Lose Deal. Hopefully in time, that could change.

 

My guess is that at these Live In Firehouses, "someone needs to be in charge". Someone who is willing to make sure everything is under control within those four walls. A kind of Lt/Capt thing. Not just a title but with the authority and responsibility to enforce the rules. With the understanding that if things should go sour, this guy owns it. Therefore there should be some incentive for a responsible person to accept this.
