It is Öland's municipal association that will decide how the rescue services in Öland will save money. One of the proposals is to reduce the number of part-time firefighters in Degerhamn from 16 to 12. Another to put down the summer force in Böda, says local media.
It is widely known that it is difficult to recruit part-time firefighters, and at Öland about ten people end up every year where new ones need to be trained. The cost of the training has increased, says the rescue chief at Öland to the Barometer.
