I have a question about the safer fund.
My dept accepted the safer fund and for a time we were 4 man on every one of our rigs. Since that time we have steadily gone from the 4 man per rig to most rigs having 3 man.
I think i saw in NFPA 1710 that you had to have a 4 man rig if you have the safer grants. If that is true who would I contact to make the city follow the safer grants rules. I see this as our city once again taking money from the govt and endangering our lives by not hiring the firefighters needed to have 4 man rigs.
The dept is a medium size fully paid dept with 340 fire personnel. we have 13 stations with 9 stations being combo with a engine/med unit and 4 stations with a ladder,engine and a med unit combo with one or the other.
