LEMOORE, Calif. (KFSN) -- "We are proud of who we are, what we do and being a proud member of the Volunteer Fire Department," says Lemoore Volunteer Fire Department Chief, Bruce German.

German says volunteers are what makes or breaks their station.

In their case, recruiting volunteers hasn't been a problem, but getting the proper funding has been challenging.

"The city takes very good care of us as far as equipment needs, but with the pandemic the last several years, there are no extra funds whatsoever, so we've kind of gotten by, scraping by," he said.
