April 26, 2019 Page 5 <br />The State's leading fire service agencies, including the MSFCA, are committed <br />to addressing this crisis. (Indicates some type of action and/or plan, Council <br />may find this of interest and seek further information.) As a point of fact, Chief <br />Scott's department was the second largest volunteer department for many <br />years with an authorized strength of 150 volunteers. Eagan received nearly <br />$418,000 in Fire State aid in 2018 and very much understands the importance <br />of this aid. Even though Eagan has a very robust volunteer relief pension with <br />regular increases in the annual amount, it has had no impact on retention or <br />recruitment of volunteers. <br />1 https://www.nvfc.org/new-nfpa-report-finds-significant-decline-in-volunteer- <br />firefighter-numbers/ <br />
