As a former Ft Worth Firefighter I am well aware of the harm done by these reductions. Budget battles are nothing new, the city of Fort Worth as all cities will cut fundamental programs way before desired programs, IE: that ridiculous lake on the Trinity. Support the FWFD!

What’s being viewed as a fight against bureaucracy is actually just a humble ask to be made whole. Do what’s right COFW, listen to those that protect you while you sleep.

Subpar wages and benefits compared to peer cities lead to losing highly trained, top-tier talent to surrounding municipalities. A top-10 national city requires first-class public safety infrastructure. Operating a department that lags in size, staffing, and pay undermines our community's standard of safety. Rapid population expansion without proportional department growth forces fewer personnel to cover larger areas, directly risking emergency response times.

My husband is a FWFD employee. These firefighters are our family and sacrifice a lot to do this essential job for our community. Let’s make sure they have everything they need to be successful and safe at this very dangerous job.

Hey government… stop with all the BS already. Covid hit and you screwed everything! Most places literally run on the absolute bare minimum number of employees to keep things running, making them cover the work 3-5 other people used to cover. Stop being greedy, give people their jobs back and stop muking everything up because you might be running the show but this is my country and I will replace you!!!

Need to address a bigger budget to afford and attract quality personnel. to stay competitive in current trends and be a leader in response and highest quality equipment.

This is important to me because it affects my family personally as my dad is a fireman at 16s. But on a larger perspective these men and women are risking their lives everyday day to save ours and that should enough in itself to make sure they are getting the best of the best.

Haslet residents suffer from poor infrastructure. EMA and FIRE have great difficulty reaching or leaving the area when there is a crisis. We need more EMS and FIRE stations!

I stand with our Fort Worth Firefighters. Please negotiate in good faith and give them the resources they need to keep themselves and our community safe.

Budget cuts need to be done elsewhere in the city. This manpower cut is endangering the lives of firefighters with not having enough firefighters on scene. Do better FT WORTH

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.
