Hello. I'm Richard Ager. Welcome to NH Outlook. Volunteerism is a tradition in New Hampshire. Every year, hundreds of thousands of volunteers perform difficult and even dangerous tasks for free. But in a tough economy, there are growing concerns about our reliance on volunteers. We explored those issues in this program we originally broadcast in October, 2009. We began with a look at the new class of City Year volunteers. |

Nowhere is the tradition of volunteerism stronger than in the more than 240 fire departments around the state. A few are large with full-time firefighters and EMTs - but most are small and those rely on volunteers to help with fire and emergency rescue. Outlook's Phil Vaughn takes a look at volunteer fire departments and the challenges they face. |
