~ONNEL•L The Ford Worth Fire Department is in the last phase of implementing the
manpower plan as approved by M&C G-5507, "Redeploying Fire Department
Personnel."
The adopted manpower plan provided for upgrading f fifteen officers to the
rank of°'Captain, fourteen to Lieutenant, six to Engineer, with only three
additional positions. The manpower plan involved realignment of personnel
and staffing for new apparatus as it was delivered and the opening of three

plan for existing stations. Additional staffing as related to this manpower
plan will be presented in conjunction with council approval to open new
stations.
