Volunteer Fire Department NFPA standards

My department is going through some struggles trying to catch up to current NFPA standards.  Even though the NFPA is a US body, it sets the standard for the continent.  The Office of the Fire Marshall is mandated to create a provincial Fire College.  The OFC is constantly growing and modifying just like departments are.  The instructors do a great job of preparing new recruits as well as continuing the education of senior firefighters.  Volunteer Firefighters and Volunteer Fire Departments have a great struggle ahead of them to train to the standards of the NFPA.  Sometimes, there aren't enough hours in the day!
