VOLUNTEER FIREMEN
RECRUITMENT &
RETENTION COMMITTEE
Discount Club Update
Ross Township has been blessed with a
100% volunteer fire service for many years.
The desire of this committee, business
owners and every tax payer is to ensure
that this purely volunteer group remains
intact, well trained and ready to go.
Ross Township has 8 fire companies with
approximately 300 volunteers consisting
of fire fighters, administrative help, fire
police and junior members. Every year
state regulations make the cost and time
requirements for training more demanding
on new and veteran members. Each new
member costs the companies upwards of
$3,000 which is covered by Ross Township
General Fund budget contributions, federal
and state grants and fund raising efforts of
the fire companies.
Help us thank them for the commitment
and a job well done by becoming a
member of the Ross Township Volunteer
Firemen Discount Club. Any discount of
any amount is deeply appreciated. Any
volunteer requesting a discount at your
establishment must present photo ID to
receive the discount. The Discount Club
listing of participants will be published
in our magazine quarterly and posted at
each fire hall. Following are the current
participants:
Bodytech North Hills
Breen Law Firm, LLC
Cable Orthodontics
Please contact Commissioner Mikec or
any of your local firemen for a registration
packet to sign up.

Internet Safety- Keeping Your Children
Safe in Cyberspace
It’s hard to remember a time without the
almost universal presence of the internet
despite it only coming to the common
collective a scant 20 years ago. Simply
put, the internet permeates our lives. With
the advent and refinement of mobile
technology we now have the ability to
carry in our pocket a device many times
more powerful than any desktop computer
only a few years old. Probably no other
invention in modern times has so greatly
altered the way we carry out our day to
day routines. Be it shopping, research,
socializing, or just about any other activity,
we find ourselves using online venues at a
frequency surpassing traditional ones.
