Firefighters: Good news despite mandate Continued from Page 1 take a job in Portland. The staff member who chose leave has been a volun- teer with the department for 18 years. “It’s tough to see them step away,” Alsbury said. “It’s his personal choice or convic- tion. … He didn’t think it was the morally correct thing to ask for exemption.” Balensifer, who has been out of town much of the month, took a lot of flack from the public over his let- ter. Some assumed he wasn’t concerned about the health risk of unvaccinated emer- gency workers treating the medically vulnerable or spreading COVID-19 in the community. “The city of Warrenton has said that we will comply with the law,” he posted in a Face- book Live message. “I was truly scared; we have strug- gled and continue to struggle getting volunteers for the de- partment.” He added that he was pleased “the looming crisis has been averted.” For the seven department members with exemptions, Chief Alsbury vowed none of them will be used for medi- cal calls if there are other re- sources available.
