A meet-and-confer agreement has been unanimously ratified by the city council. This agreement is with the professional firefighters association and will allow the fire department to adopt a new schedule. The new schedule will be 24 hours on, followed by 72 hours off, providing first responders with an additional day of rest.

Further details about the agreement and its implementation are available. The city council's vote to ratify the agreement was unanimous, taking place on Tuesday. The new schedule is expected to give first responders more rest time than they currently receive.
