Seems like these overtime problems arise every year. The WFD needs to do a better job of managing its personnel to reduce overtime. They also need to do a better job of predicting overtime needs using an attendance model based on dept history. Cities often underestimate overtime needs when creating the budget and then act "surprised" when additional overtime is needed.
With eleven vacancies and now the loss of the four Firefighters from Canby Park, that is the equivalent of the personnel needed to properly staff the Conditional closure company. If you don't hire the people or accurately predict your personnel needs, you shouldn't complain about paying overtime or closing companies to replace them! WFD Administration...do your job!
