For more than 75 years, the Uniopolis Fire Department has responded to emergencies. However, that could end soon if more volunteers don’t join the department, the Wapakoneta Daily News reports.
“We have reached a critical time,” Uniopolis Fire Chief Kelly Knutzen told the newspaper. “We are not in need of money as many departments are. We are in urgent need of volunteers.”
The department is working on contingency plans to cease EMS response services by the end of 2025 if volunteers to do not step forward to join the department as EMTs and firefighters.
