@Johnny Galt - $212,000 is the cost of three firefighters. By reducing the staffing on the truck by one person, spread across three shifts equals three firefighters positions being eliminated.
Sadly the article quotes Dan Schmidt from the County's Fire Department who is uneducated. Fairfax units respond there on a regular basis when City units aren't available. Yes, it is in the City's first due but that doesn't mean County units don't respond in there with City units all the time.
