Crisis Mode : Chester County experiencing shortage in volunteer firefighters In Chester County, the challenge of recruiting and retaining firefighters to volunteer their time is an issue. CHESTER COUNTY, Pa. - A dire situation is about to boil over across the country. Many fire departments are struggling to meet staffing needs when it comes to volunteers. This is especially true in Pennsylvania where more than 90% of the fire companies are all-volunteer. The Chester County Fire Chiefs Association says they are now past crisis mode and it isn t a simple fix. One hundred people left homeless, $5 million in damages, and several people hospitalized with various injuries, including firefighters. But everyone made it out alive of the blaze that destroyed the Ashwood Apartments in North Coventry last July thanks to more than 200 fire and EMS workers quickly responding. The majority of them are volunteers.
