Parker mulls volunteer firefighters in Lorain plan
Mayor William Parker says rising costs may force a Lorain volunteer auxiliary to support fire department manpower. The department stays at 91 men for now, with future additions on a volunteer basis. No firm plans or cost estimates exist, and safety officials oppose the idea while Parker cites ongoing study and seminars as context. The article also promotes Lorain County Night at Kenney Players to benefit the Arts Council.
