Campbell officials discuss firefighter shortage

CAMPBELL — City administrators and council members are discussing ways to resolve a manpower shortage in the fire department.

The five-member full-time department is short one person now because a firefighter is on an extended sick leave, administrators said.

Another firefighter, Capt. David Horvath, is expected to retire in May.

At a council meeting earlier this week, Councilman Bryan Tedesco said city officials, including the fire chief, met Dec. 12 to discuss the manpower issue.

“We’re going to set up more meetings with the fire department and figure out how to staff it,” he said.
