Springfield Professional Firefighters Local 333

Today, 10 firefighters were forced into 12-hour overtime assignments!

This means:
-1/3 of the of the Firefighters who worked their shift yesterday were forced to work again today.
-3 firefighters are now working their second consecutive forced tour.
-Another 3 firefighters stepped up voluntarily to help cover staffing shortages.

That’s the current problem. Kicking the Can and the City continuing to treat overtime as the answer to covering shifts.

Heres the answer. We need the city to hire more firefighters. We need our authorized strength to increase. There are individuals who have taken the tests and signed up to be considered. It’s time to fill the seats the right way and for the City to hire more firefighters.

Join us for the 2026 Chris Toms Memorial Golf Outing hosted by the Friends of the Springfield Professional Firefighters! ⛳️
