Philadelphia Mayor Nutter Miscalculated Closing Philadelphia Fire Stations
The Mayor Philadelphia has stretched Philadelphia firefighters so thin that during a seven alarm fire last week the department had to call in enough personnel to staff six engines and three ladders. That's more than the number of companies the Mayor shut down in the first place!
The seven alarm blaze taxed Philadelphia's bravest so much that a man died less than a mile from that blaze. Firefighters tried valiantly to save the man but were unable to do so. Cost cutting measures are destroying fire protection in Philadelphia, a fact reporters seem unwilling to report.
Despite claims from Mayor Nutter fire protection in Philadelphia is seriously compromised. Citizens and firefighters are in danger.


I've been saying it for months;
"Rolling Brown Outs" Selective rotating fire station colsures and "Black Outs" Closing them for a month/s
Doesn't work in the end!
I'm certain the Philly FF's gave their best at both the fire and EMS Incident despite City Halls interfence.
