Posted May 27, 2015 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. http://www.dailynews.com/government-and-politics/20150527/86-billion-los-angeles-budget-adds-270-firefighters-7000-lapd-body-cameras-and-more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 6, 2015 Re-open? 270 after drill tower attrition barely keeps up with the number of firefighters retiring in the next 12 months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
