The Firefighters Association of the State of New York (FASNY) has launched the RecruitNY 2024 statewide firefighter recruitment campaign, accompanied by a revealing survey of New York State residents' sentiments towards volunteer firefighters. The survey, conducted from January 18th to the 22nd, involved 1,000 New Yorkers outside New York City who were not already volunteer firefighters, offering valuable insights into public perceptions of this vital service.
Edward Tase, Jr., President of FASNY and a dedicated volunteer firefighter in Niagara County, expressed enthusiasm about the survey results during a press conference at the Nassau County Firefighters Museum and Education Center in Uniondale.
Tase stated, "This survey has provided FASNY and the entire volunteer fire service with valuable insights into what New Yorkers think and know about their volunteer fire service."
