Dayton Firemen Strike Triggers Citywide Firefighting Gaps
Dozens of Dayton firemen walked off the job over wage and week requests leaving the city with limited ambulance service and no fire protection for hours. Two abandoned apartments burned and an adjacent frame house with two families was gutted. Madison Township crews responded but could not save the house as residents hurried to save belongings. Police may join in sympathy action as negotiators failed to settle a contract that expired Feb 28. Judge William Wolff Jr ordered the return to posts six hours after the work stoppage began, but no one complied.
