City Firemen Seek Daily Three Hour Off Duty Break
The city council fire committee considers a petition from city firemen for three hours off each afternoon, to be taken in turn. Currently each man has one day off in eight, but the men say this is insufficient due to long commutes and home duties. They must sleep at the station and eat one hour for meals, leaving three hours total, with travel time making home work impossible. The proposal aims to have one man per station off daily while remaining capable of responding to alarms, and it is expected to be granted with little opposition.
