Captain Matt Stringer says it’s vitally important for the department to be fully staffed.
“It is very important to be fully staffed. currently, we operate with 33 firefighters, two administrative personnel, our fire chief, and our deputy fire chief. being fully staffed, we run anywhere from 1500 to 2,000 calls a year, so having those extra hands-on calls is very important,” said Cpt.
