Our schedule is fairly simple.  We meet just about every Tuesday night at 8pm.  Members are encouraged to make as many meetings as possible but we all have jobs, families, commitments outside the Department so we understand that everyone can't make every meeting.  The Tuesdays are usually divided between two drills (fire suppression, search & rescue, vehicle extrication, water rescue, etc.) and one business meeting (snacks and soda provided.)   Of course, we respond to calls and there's no telling when they will come but typically we get about one to two calls each week.  Again, make those that you can and no worries if you can't.
