From the meeting
The study said Bethlehem should maintain or modestly strengthen minimum fire staffing, reduce reliance on vacancies and leave patterns, and consider a three-platoon model. CPSM also noted that the city budgets for 24 on fire suppression while current availability is lower because of leave and vacancies. The report is a trigger for staffing, scheduling, and academy planning.
