Volunteer fire services are looking to attract the next generation
Volunteer fire services in the U.S. are seeking to recruit more Gen Z volunteers due to declining numbers. The International Association of Fire Chiefs launched a campaign called 'A Hustle Worth Having' to attract younger recruits through social media and marketing. Challenges include busy lifestyles and geographic barriers, with rural areas being most vulnerable.
