Default More info please

We need more information. Is this rare, or does it happen often? Is it because we are short staffed, or are people out sick? Is recruiting keeping up with our needs?

We had a significant increase to the fire charge on our tax bills a couple years ago so that firefighters would get a good pay increase. We had been training people and they would then jump to another city. How do we compare to surrounding communities now? Is that still happening?
