A Little Known Fact

It's been said, that the paid fire department also does inspections, since it's an "expanded" version of the Fire Marshall's Office. Well, Councilman Pilieri allegedly stated several years ago that he was fine with expanding the fire marshal's office as long as it paid for itself with inspections. From what I know, they (Fire Marshall's Office) bulk bill for this, so how do we know all of Bensalem's businesses are ACTUALLY being inspected every year?? They may put up a piece of paper that states the business is inspected yearly, but how do we know it's actually being done??

What's worse yet, is that now the paid fire department continually operates in the red. The Director of Public Safety and the Mayor stated that no funds would be taken from the six volunteer fire companies to support the paid fire department. The SAFER grant ALSO stated that no funds would be taken from the volunteer fire companies to support the paid fire department. We all know this is not true. To this date, we still don't know exactly much funding they will be taking away from the volunteer fire departments.
