New Los Angeles City Budget Calls For Hiring 270 New Firefighters

4 posts in this topic

Great to hear about the staffing. Wonder if it funds any new apparatus?
 

The budget increases the Fire Department’s budget by $55 million, and includes a revision by the council that adds $4.5 million to hire a total of 270 firefighter recruits, more than the 180 recruits this year.

The council’s revisions also include about $6 million for fire safety equipment and technology upgrades, and other fire department services.

Also how many Engine Companies or Light Force Companies or Haz-mat Squad companies will re-open?

Re-open? 270 after drill tower attrition barely keeps up with the number of firefighters retiring in the next 12 months.
