Firefighters seek a total 20 percent wage increase to match Des Moines police pay, after a 5 percent raise in December and a 5 percent city offer. Police already have a 10 percent raise, leaving a 10 percent gap. Fire chief Williams reports a 15 to 16 member supervisory staff ready to man four wagons, with most union members backing a work stoppage if demands are not met. Fire stations remain staffed 24 hours in three shifts, and several supervisors and engineers are among those not participating in the stoppage.
