The City Council is rethinking the size and shape of the Everett Fire Department. Everett paid a consulting firm $66,400 to study the issue, and a draft report went before the council in August. The 216-page report did not make any final recommendations. Controversy, though, has stirred from suggestions in the document to close two of Everett's six working fire stations, reduce the number of firefighters on staff, and rework how firefighter shifts are scheduled.

A 14-year dispute concerning overtime pay for D.C. was resolved Saturday after Mayor Muriel Bowser and the D.C. Fire Fighters Association signed an agreement. The agreement will result in $45 million to be paid to firefighters who worked more than 42 hours per week, dating back to Sept. 23, 2001. The mayor’s office said funds have already been allocated through surplus revenue in fiscal year 2015.
