Columbus Fire 2 House, unofficial

Columbus fire department adds 23 paramedics as call volume continues to rise The graduation comes as some Columbus fire stations have experienced temporary brownouts because of staffing shortages.

** CFD RETIREMENT NOTICE ** for Lt. Steve Treinish

Another move to 24/72

Marion County firefighters just voted 327:5 in favor of the 24/72, 42 hour workweek. This is in addition to the $20,000 pay raise in contract 1.

As a resident, taxpayer and someone who cares deeply about the health of our first responders, this truly made my day.

These numbers reflect the truth that our firefighters value performance, longevity and time with their families.

The last step is a final vote by the county commisioners on June 2 and I'll be there to witness this monumental event.

I'll be their loudest recruiter once the ink is dry, to help attract the very best candidates to protect our community.

Watch this space!! 🔥
