The 2015-2016 Grand Jury agrees with the Finding and Recommendation of the 2014-2015 Grand Jury’s Final Report that one firefighter alone cannot drive and read the map-book for directions and that it poses undue risk and is a major safety concern.

The diversion of the Hazardous Waste Tax revenues from the Fire Fund for the past two years has created an additional obstacle to reaching the goal of eliminating the one-person fire stations. Even though the Hazardous Waste Tax revenues have been reduced, a portion of those revenues should still be directed to the Fire Fund for the hiring of additional firefighting personnel.

The Grand Jury finds that the Board of Supervisors’ decision to allocate funding for three additional Fire Apparatus Engineers in order to address overtime costs instead of creating six Firefighter positions in order to address the critical problem of one-person fire stations appears to be ill advised.
