WE NEED YOUR HELP
The Maplewood Fire Department is presently understaffed by all professional fire service standards, leading to inadequate manpower and lack of supervision on the Ladder Truck. In 1990, the four Lieutenant positions were eliminated and in 2007 two firefighter positions were vacated and the positions were not filled. At a township budget hearing on February 9, 2008, the Citizen's Budget Advisory Committee (CBAC) recommended to the Township Committee that the supervisory positions be restored and the firefighter positions be filled. Please take a few moments to view the staffing presentation we have prepared addressing this issue and contact the Township Committee and ask them to restore these positions as recommended by the CBAC. Thank you.
