The N /FRS data were not complete; as a result data were <br />provided by Eno, New Hope, Orange Grove and White Cross. The Eno Fire Department data are estimated. <br />Two fire departments, Chapel Hill and Carrboro, are fully paid departments. <br />The other fire departments in Orange- County are predominantly volunteer <br />departments. Several departments (Eno, New Hope, Orange Grove, and White Cross) <br />employ a small number of paid full-time or part -time personnel to provide immediate <br />response, especially during daytime hours. The Orange Rural Fire Department <br />employs 19 full-time firefighting personnel to provide around- the -clock coverage. <br />Exhibit 7 shows the complex nature of the staffing resources utilized by the fire <br />departments in the County. <br />* ABL4 CONSULTING GROUP, ,NC. 11 <br />
