There have been a recent shortage of volunteer firefighters in the Harrison County area, so much so that city officials called for a meeting to discuss how to solve the problem. Officials with the Mayor’s Association of Harrison County hosted the gathering Wednesday night with local fire departments at the Clarksburg Municipal Building in downtown Clarksburg. Attendees explained that the meeting was enlightening and helpful. The goal of the meeting was to get together with the fire chiefs to find a quick solution to the problem, and what the Mayor’s Association would need to do too make sure everyone is covered in each county. Mayor’s Association President Todd Somers stated that volunteer fire departments around Harrison County miss out on firefighters between 6 a.m. – 6 p.m.
