Capt Bowles....you must be related to a fireman. In Warwick, the WFD has not stayed on budget for Overtime in 30 years. Each and every year they blow their budget. Warwick does not need more firemen. They need to go to the 3 platoon system. They would have EXTRA firemen if they did this. All these guys have second jobs on their current 4on 4off schedule. They all make twice their salary with OT. They have tons of time off. If anyone actually looked in to the fire department they would expose what a racket it is. Better than teaching. They are allowed to switch shifts with one another. One guy took three months off by doing this, getting full pay. Had five weeks vacation on top of that. They earn well over 100,000.00 unless they are brand new.
