Fire Chief Andy Heffner has expressed that recruiting for the deputy fire chief has become tough as the battalion chiefs who are next in line make more money than the deputy chief because of earning overtime. The committee met tonight to discuss increasing the position's pay to make it more equitable to the difference between the pay of the police chief and the major position. Currently, the difference between the police chief and major is 8%, while the difference Between fire chief and deputy chief is around 16%, which the committee would like to cut down to 8%.
