On Monday April 20th 2009, the Monroe City council unanimously passed a budget which shows in the line item of the Fire Department that there will be 21 personnel, no Ambulance revenues, which would eliminate the ALS & BLS programs and close a fire station per the chief's request of operating at a safe level. The local has bargained and has proposed a no cost option to the City which they have rejected." PLEASE WATCH THE FOLLOWING VIDEOS AND SEE THE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BELOW. Contact Your Council Person and Tell Them NOT To Close Your East Side Fire Station or Eliminate the Advanced Life Support Services… Once They Close the East Side Station, Your West Side Station May Be Next.
