The group of 20 firefighters achieved numerous gains including a 12.3% salary increase in value, confirmed 24-hour schedules and a guarantee to retain 20 permanent firefighters before resorting to temporary status jobs.
The pandemic had had unfortunate impacts on members of this group such as some layoffs. However, all members with permanent status were reinstated.
