As someone who works in Ft. Worth and travels the already precarious road ways every single day, the idea to reduce fire fighters by up to 25% is unacceptable. Our fire fighters and paramedics deserve full funding, and the people of Ft. Worth deserve safety and quick response times.

It is shameful and greedy.

This January marks 27 years serving the citizens of Fort Worth.

Keeping experienced firefighters in Fort Worth and attracting the next generation is good for every citizen who depends on us when they call 911. I'm proud to serve this city, and I want to see our department remain a place where firefighters chose to serve t

I personally know firefighters that have given much to this career. I also know a few who have everything to the citizens of Fort Worth.

First responders make the difference between life and death. They are the most important service the city has and should be commended and recognized as such!
