It has to be tense times for staff at the City Fire Department. This as a consultant conducts a study of the service to see what can be cut from the budget. The job was first thrown to Chief Rob Simonds but then turned over to the consultantat a cost of $40,000 dollars. Former Fire Chief Glen Tait tells CHSJ News, he understands first hand what the chief and firefighters are going through.
Tait adds money is always a problem for City Hall because the population cannot support the funding to meet all of the needs and services.
