The Cornwall Fire Department’s long wait to fill vacant firefighter positions appears to be over. City council put the replacement of one firefighter on hold late last year until it could examine staffing levels during the 2012 budget process. But the city’s budget steering committee decided Friday morn- ing to reverse course. The committee is recommending city council now fill the vacant position, as well as two other positions that are either now vacant or soon to be vacated. The budget committee’s recommendation essentially endorse a report from emer- gency services manager Myles Cassidy, that the city honour a 2003 commitment which institutes a staffing level of 14 firefighters for each of the department’s four platoons. The staffing level is derived from the premise that fire department must have 14 firefighters per platoon to ensure it meeting the minimum requirement of 10 on-duty firefighters at any time per platoon. The staffing level number comes from a re- port from the Ontario Fire Marshal’s Office that 10 firefighters be available in 10 min- utes for a residential fire. Myles Cassidy, the city’s head of emer- gency services, said the position that the city refused to fill resulted in increased overtime in one platoon late last year. The recommendation on staffing levels was expected to be approved at Monday night’s council meeting. Follow @gkielec on Twitter. For breaking news, go to www.editionap.ca and click on The Journal.
