My best friend of 20 years is currently serving the Ft. Worth Fire Dept. They do not deserve to be cut short, the city needs to find another way.

Public service protects our homes, our children, and our lives. It's not flashy or fun to spend money on, but it is critical to our futures. Let's be smart and prioritize the right things.

As a lifelong Fort Worth resident, this is absolutely paramount to our quality of life here in Tarrant County. I have always known that our police and firefighters are protecting us. Let's support them with an appropriate budget.

Fort Worth has been one of the fastest-growing large cities in the United States. As the population has grown to more than one million residents, demand for emergency services has increased significantly. More people mean more homes, businesses, traffic, and emergencies requiring fire and EMS
The Fort Worth Fire Department responds to more than 110,000 incidents each year, with roughly 60% involving emergency medical

Earlier, the guidelines to test for the department were loosened. Now we have weak people working which makes the ones on call, do more than their fair share. Cutting personnel will make it even harder to get the work done. This can actually backfire on the department when their backbone workers start getting injuries due to heavier lifts and harder calls due to staff cuts.

Fire and EMS are under paid and under appreciated.

We have several senior citizens on our block, and a couple of neighbors have utilized the Fire/Amulance service, I will let them know that services will/may be reduced. Terrible idea !!

4-person staffing on fire apparatus and fully-staffed ambulances is a no-brainer. The City of Fort Worth can do better.

As a paramedic I spent a a great amount of time on clinicals with these crews. You have some of the best Parmedic's and EMT's in all the Metroplex, however the call volume is one of the busiest and most overwhelming in the area. I'm worried if these men and women don't receive the resources they need to do their job to the best of their ability and a living wage I am afraid they will just leave and the city will be at a loss which will make call volume and response times even worse for the city.
