Increase Corpus Christi Fire Departments Daily Staffing Level to 100
Updates
July 25, 2013
I just saw the number hit 500 and honestly I am a little overwhelmed because that is way more people than I thought would care about engine staffing levels when I started this. It is honestly kind of wild to see so many of you backing the guys on the trucks and I keep thinking about how much safer the city would be if they just listened to us.

Seeing this kind of movement really catches me off guard because I honestly thought it would just be me and a few friends yelling into the void about these staffing levels. It is wild to realize that so many people actually get why taking firefighters off engines is a terrible idea for our safety and I am just sitting here staring at the screen and trying to process the momentum.

I just looked at the count and saw we hit a hundred signatures which is honestly more than I thought would happen so fast. It is just wild to think about how many people actually care about keeping our fire engines fully staffed instead of cutting corners. Now we just have to keep the momentum going because the city really needs to listen to us.

Why are they trying to cut safety margins when the city is growing so fast? Seems like common sense to hire more people.
My husband is on the force and these budget cuts are insane. They deserve the staff to do their jobs safely. Fix it!!!
CC needs to get its act together. You cant just rob Peter to pay Paul when it comes to public safety. Keep the engines at 4 people.
Absolutely ridiculous. Nobody should be cutting corners with emergency services.
Safety should be the top priority in this budget. Dont put the firemen or the public at risk for the sake of a few bucks.

If I have an emergency I want a full crew showing up. Do not water down our fire protection just to check a box.
