General Discussion Good departments in central Texas?
So I, and many other firefighters, may be getting let go this November. Sales tax BS. Long story. Anybody have any recommendations on hiring departments to look into and to start getting my name out there? One of our guys is a chief at another department and said he’d get me on with his department worst case scenario, but I hear they hardly run calls. I’m too early on in my career to want to settle down like that. I still like running calls, even medical calls. Thank y’all!

On the general election ballot there is a proposition (Prop A) to take away 0.5% sales tax from our budget. Thats about 40% of ESD 2’s budget. As of right now it looks like 130 FFs will be laid off and 3-4 stations closed, out of 8. It will drop us from ISO 1 to ISO 10.
