Please come out to welcome home SSgt. Jaired Zavatter from his 3^rd tour. Jaired graduated from Cherokee High School in 2001. He is 27 years old. He served twice in Iraq in 2006 and 2008. He just completed his 3^rd tour, which was in Afghanistan. He was in Afghanistan for one year.

Jaired is married to Christy, who is an active member of the Yellow Ribbon Club. Christy has been busy making ribbons and helping with events all year, and now she is very excited to share their happy day with all. If you remember, when Jaired came home from Iraq in 2008, he dropped to one knee in front of Evesham Fire-Rescue’s large American flag and asked her to marry him. It was an awesome sight. Not long after they were married he redeployed.

Despite pouring more than $60 million into overtime for off-duty firefighters to fill in for absent colleagues over the past 15 years, firefighters say incidents like this prove that Camden hasn\’t done enough to keep them and residents safe. Union leaders claim the department has been understaffed and underequipped for years. As a result, they say, the city is not only risking public safety, but increasingly relying on resources from other towns. Surrounding municipalities sent fire engines, ladders, rescue vehicles, staff and other equipment to help the Camden Fire Department battle blazes a staggering 383 times in 2009, twice as many as the year before. To department critics, the solution is not hiring but cracking down on contractual staffing requirements, overtime rules and payout policies that have inflated department budgets. Fiscal watchdog Kelly Francis said former state-appointed leader Theodore Davis\’ recent attempts to limit overtime have shown that the department can still function just fine with less money. \”Has Camden burned down since Judge Davis cut the overtime?\” Francis asked.
