Concerns are being raised about the ability of a fire department to respond to emergencies. A growing population and development are creating more demands for emergency services. The union representing firefighters believes more personnel are needed to keep up with the increasing number of calls.

The current number of firefighters is over 300, but the union thinks this should be higher. Residential growth and high-rise buildings are contributing to the need for more emergency response crews. Further details about the situation and the union's concerns are available from the source.

The issue at hand is not about pay, but rather the number of available personnel.
