SYCAMORE TOWNSHIP, OH (FOX19)- Sycamore Township Trustees will meet Wednesday night to talk about potential layoffs in the fire department.
Township trustee Bruce Raabe says between 70-100 part-time firefighters and about 14 full-time positions could potentially be cut.
According to fire chief's plan, that would leave about 12 full-time firefighters on the job.
Raabe says no one wants to layoff workers but, the township just doesn't have the money to support that many firefighters since the state cut back on funding to local governments.
Sycamore Township Local 3907 President Kelby Thoreson has asked firefighters and the public to attend the meeting to speak out about the proposed cuts.
Wednesday night's meeting is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. at 8540 Kenwood Road, Cincinnati, Ohio 45236.
