Here is an article on the story from the Freep;

Someone added a great comment about that story;
This now open relationship between UFFW and the City is the worst kept secret. Suddenly it now has everyone upset, but folks, we have seen this incestuous relationship at every election since this guy became President UFFW. This has been part of the plan from the get go. Get City small "P" politicians beholding to him so he can manipulate Counsel for what he believes is the best interests of his fire fighters. Lets face it as with most other occupations change occurs and with fire fighting, modern buildings and enhanced building codes have significantly reduced the daily need for fire fighter response, but he has somehow convinced the city to send Fire Fighters to literally every single 911 call whether their specific services are required or not. A numbers game! IMHO it appears there is a clear agenda at play to replace qualified and experienced PARAMEDICS with Fire Fighters. It is time for the City to put this rotten relationship where it belongs.
Really ticks me off that the city has been paying someone for 20 years but not actually doing the job for which he is being paid and yet there is belt tightening everywhere else in the city with ever increasing service fees, extra taxes, increasing taxes etc. with less and less services from the city!
