No district-specific issues are documented yet. The immediate issue impacting coverage is that the January 6 meeting did not appear to occur as advertised, which makes public confirmation of election details more difficult.

• Staffing: Most, if not all, districts need more firefighters and EMS personnel.
• Volunteer model vs affordability: The use of volunteers versus the cost of living and affordability situations should be discussed.
• Turnout: Low voter turnout should be re-discussed, as it calls into question the strength of election processes.
• Visibility gap: Lack of public attendance and press coverage of meetings leaves the public and voters in the dark regarding essential emergency services.
• Legal Notice vs Meaningful Notice: Traditionally, public meetings across the county only needed to be advertised in one or two newspapers. As the digital age takes over, there is a push to publish on websites, but is that enough? Vineland's current data center issue and low awareness in fire districts suggest more advertising could be done.
• EMS uncertainty: The ongoing Inspira contract discussions leaves districts in limbo about how to handle EMS coverage on a long term vision.
• Radio programming: The lack of a radio programmer hinders inter-county communication during mutual aid endeavors.

• Post / article: TBD
• Interview: TBD
• Meeting coverage: Attempted to attend the meeting on January 6, but it did not appear to occur as advertised. Next scheduled meeting is February 3 (planned follow-up for clarification).
