Small communities depend on these professional volunteers to protect our lives. They know what they are doing!! We need them.

As someone who lived in Caledon and now lives in Georgetown, where all the firefighters in the area are volunteers, in the event of a fire who would we call upon to fight a fire if it were not for the double hatters. They put their life on the line every day. They are well trained and skilled at what they do. We should be raising up their efforts to keep our communities safe not penalizing they for the career they have chosen.

IAFF shouldn't be dictating to us what we do with our spare time.

No union should dictate what someone does on their days off.

The international has no right to tell it's members what they can do on there own time. They support MD part time so start supporting your own dues paying members. This is not a communist country . Keep fighting

It makes me sick that the IFFA are going after these hard working volinteers. From what I understand the president that is charging the "double hatters" was a "double hatter him self". That makes me sick.

Looks like the IAFF plans to force full time firefighters whether the community can afford it or not!

As a Caledon resident I am appalled that this is happening to these paid volunteers. Sounds like the union is just looking for more union dues than considering the lives and safety of people. I'm disgusted! These poor men and women that do so much good!

Living in a town that only has volunteers I feel safer knowing full time fire fighters are on the force given their qualifications! This should not be an issue!

Shameful conduct by the union to treat double-hatters like this. These people help others with their volunteer work. This is far more commendable than other firefighters who have additional non-related full time jobs or businesses. This position by the union isn't even a logical one and should withdraw the charges immediately.

The union has no business being able to tell them what they can do in their time off.

This is just sad, why are they being penalized for doing good deeds? Why aren't our councillors stepping in and speaking up for them? So many worse issues to focus on yet this is happening....
Good Luck!
