In a final attempt to avoid drastic fire and medical service reductions that will put San Jose residents and businesses at risk, San Jose firefighters will announce a new proposal to the City. The details of the proposal will be announced tomorrow.

The loss of 49 Firefighters and closure of 4 fire engines and one fire truck will increase emergency response times and put lives and property at greater risk. The firefighters' offer will allow the City to keep the 4 fire engines and fire truck in service.
