So, does anyone know what the REAL story is?
You'll get 2 stories, depending who you talk to.
Management/Union
Is this a staffing issue (lack of enough personnel to work/cover the shifts), or budget (won't pay for overtime to staff apparatus)?
Are there a large number of people off on sick/injury leave?
Is it a combination of both?
I've NEVER heard of running with 2 on a Fire apparatus, in a "Professional" department...
What sense does THAT make?
You don't have Volunteers showing up on the scene to fill the crews.
