The reason the east and west firefighters aren't getting along is because all the overtime is going to the east side and the 5 firefighters on the west are upset.
Many of these men and women are collecting overtime long before they are ready to retire. The reason I say that is because it has always been something the department did for those getting ready to retire in the next year.
That's probably why the fire department is crying they have no money. Sure, they need it to pay overtime.
What a gimmick!!!!!
PS: this info came from a retired firefighter who never took advantage of the opportunity to collect overtime long before retirement or within a year of retiring.
