Youngstown (OH) Considers Shutting Down Truck

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) - A Youngstown fire station is seeing some cuts - not in staff, but equipment - and tensions were high as officials talked about taking a truck off patrol. The Youngstown Fire Department is now nearly $80,000 over budget on overtime.

The city of Youngstown (OH) is considering idling a company because of financial considerations, according to a report.

The department currently has ten trucks and 123 firefighters, but a proposal would cut staffing and overtime.
