ARTICLE 17 <br />STAFFING <br />17.01 The Employer will maintain what it determines to be a safe and effective number of <br />personnel at each station and sub -station during each shift. The Employer agrees with the <br />Union that having three firefighters on an engine would be preferable to having two <br />firefighters on an engine. The Employer will consider this fact when setting staffing levels. <br />The Employer also agrees that no station will be reduced to under what it determines to be <br />minimum staffing for more than four (4) hours per shift. <br />17.02 As a general rule, six (6) employees per shift may be granted leave and one (1) employee per <br />shift may be granted a Kelly day by the Fire Chief.

There will be <br />no fewer than one (1) Certified E.M.T. on duty at all time, per station, per shift, and per <br />apparatus (except brush trucks). <br />27 <br />
