As of January 1, 2014, the Obamacare act has made it that volunteers for these departments can only be scheduled for 30 hrs a week. If this stands, it will mean that either your house house fire or the rollover crash with people entrapped will not be able to be helped or will have to wait for a larger city to respond at a much later time because the volunteers that are available will have already their 30 hours.

Volunteers are few and far between. We do not do this for the money but to be able to assist our communities. Smaller communities cannot afford to pay full time people hence the volunteers.

If there are volunteers at a fire for example and their 30 hours are up, do they walk away and not put out that housefire or stay and pay the $2000.00 fine to be assesed per person over the 30 hrs.

Under this act, you and or your family may be in harm's way due to no available volunteers. Please help repeal this part of Obamacare if you want to remain safe at home or in your vehicle and sign this petition.

New demands on volunteer depts of fire and ems under Obamacare

As of January 1, 2014, Obamacare has made it that the volunteers of these departments can not work over 30 hours per week. If this stands, this means that your house fire or the rollover crash with people entrapped, will not be able to be helped or will have to wait much longer for a paid department to show up due to the volunteers already using their 30 hours.

Volunteers are few and far between. We do not do this for the money but to be able to assist our communities. Smaller communities cannot afford to pay fulltime people hence the volunteers.

If there are volunteers at a fire for example and their 30 hours are up, do they walk away and not put out that fire or do they stay and accrue a $2000.00 fine per person who is over 30 hours.

Under this act, you and or your family may be in harms way due to no available volunteers. Please sign this petition and help repeal this part of Obamacare before it is too late. Keep our communities and neighbors safe.
