It is #NationalVolunteerMonth! Dogwood is proud to partner with the North Carolina Association of Fire Chiefs to raise awareness of the shortage of volunteer firefighters in North Carolina. Did you know that more than 80% of NC’s firefighters are volunteers? A decrease in volunteerism has created gaps in emergency response coverage across our state, putting lives at risk. Will you answer the call and be a hero for your hometown? #volunteerfirenc https://lnkd.in/ejRrN7NG
