## Resource

Vermont and Austria are teaming up for a four-year firefighting exchange designed to boost training, recruitment, and safety—especially in tourist-heavy areas. With Vermont’s fire departments overwhelmed, this partnership brings in Austrian expertise, including insights on volunteer systems and city council dynamics. Jeff Fischer, an Austrian firefighter, visited Stowe to share lessons, and next year, a Vermont firefighter will head to Austria for a firsthand look. It’s about smarter emergency response, stronger communities, and deeper international collaboration. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
