Danbury Mayor Won't Commit To Firemen's Shift Demand
Danbury Mayor Charles A. Ducibella will review a state appointed fact finder report on the minimum firefighting crew size but will not promise unconditional acceptance.

The mayor criticized overtime costs and suggested adding volunteers to avoid raises in minimum staffing.
