More from the Firehalls

An interesting column this week by Betty Bean in the Thursday edition of Halls News.

We also filed some new information in a story Thursday. Overtime pay for Assistant Chiefs has doubled in the past year. Half of it going to just 5 Assistant Chiefs.

We're also reviewing o.t. records of Fire Captains and other firefighters. The overtime issue is a real one. Halfway through the fiscal year, and the department has spent 1.2 million dollars.. They were budgeted for 500,000.. Its a problem.
