Of course they had to leave it was time to go back to the station and make spagetti and meatballs.What else do they do. support for the
fire fighters is waning. If you want to know how they make all that money is in overtime. they
make sure they use all there sick days so their buddy can go in for time and a half while the so called sick guy stays home for straight time.
the city ends up paying 2.5 times stright time to fill one shift. this also raises their pension.
this has been going on forever as well as with the police. they suck the cities dry. they do not care about the financial stability of their employer or their city. FF get a life better
yet get another job we dont want you anyway.

sdm,
More ignorant talk from someone who knows nothing about the truth of the situation. You are wrong.
Especially the part about raising our pension....overtime is never included in retirement calculations.
but you wouldn't know that would you? Why? Because you know nothing about the Prov Fire Dept or Prov FF's!!
