Firehouse Roulette?
Wednesday, June 4, 2014
(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)In what Firefighters Local 36 -- and DC Councilman Tommy Wells -- called
“Firehouse Roulette,” DC officials took some fire trucks out of service last
weekend to deal with a staffing shortage, raising concerns among neighborhood
residents and firefighters. The move “continues to erode public safety by
failing to adequately staff district fire stations!” Local 36 tweeted. Check
out reports by NBC4 here and here, as well as reporter Mark
Seagraves' report.
