Fire Station 2 staffing

Summary

Station 2 has only two staff, and Commissioner Tinder recalled a Hawk's Landing family that lost their home when the station was empty. Adding six firefighter/EMTs costs about $425,000 in salary and benefits alone — with the max millage, the city would still be $300,000 short.
