Lets get one thing perfectly clear. It has been said that firefighters only work on average 7 days a month after figuring in vacation and kelly days. THIS IS A LIE SPREAD BY THE CITY MANAGEMENT
Each so-called "day" is in fact 24 hrs, or 3 8-HOUR DAYS! The firefighters work 48 hrs a week (this comes out to 6 8-hour days a week). But of course the city management doesn't tell you that fact. They want you to think that firefighters only work 2 days a week.
THE ENTIRE REASON THAT FIREFIGHTERS GET AN OFF DAY (KELLY DAY) IS TO PREVENT THEM FROM WORKING 3 24-HOUR DAYS IN ONE WEEK (72 HOURS).
The city also wants you to think that firefighters are only required to work 8 hours during each shift. Think about that for one minute.... IF THEY COME TO WORK AT 8AM, THEN AFTER 4PM THEY WOULDN'T RESPOND TO ANY CALLS. AND WE ALL KNOW THATS A LIE!
Dial 911 any time of night or day and the fire department will show up. So I guess that puts the city manager's lies to bed.
