Title: Amending R-25-122 Regarding Minimum Staffing Requirements For Albuquerque Fire Rescue, Rescue Apparatus (Peña and Fiebelkorn)
Summary
The Albuquerque City Council has introduced Council Bill R-26-4, amending previous legislation (R-25-122) to establish minimum staffing requirements for Albuquerque Fire Rescue (AFR) units. This resolution mandates that all rescue apparatus be staffed with at least two paramedic firefighters, while engine apparatus and ladder apparatus are required to have four and three firefighters, respectively. The legislation aims to enhance service efficiency and safety for both residents and firefighters. It ensures adequate staffing levels across various divisions within the AFR, including the Fire Marshal's Office and Training Division, reflecting the city's commitment to public safety. As Albuquerque's population and emergency response demands grow, this legislation is pivotal in maintaining effective fire and rescue services.
