Branford Fire Department Staffing Plan:
The Branford Fire Department has developed a staffing plan to raise awareness about the critical staffing shortage caused by a decrease in volunteer personnel and an increase in service calls. The plan carefully balances recognized national standards on fire suppression staffing and deployment with our community's specific needs and fiscal responsibility.
